I have only looked at this in old versions (like starting with 1.02. It seems it has never changed, at least not on a quick peek back in 1.08/1.09 or so. AT least back then there were indeed a minimum cap that handled cases were you subtract 2 or 1, so no worries :)
One intriguing thing (and this seems to be 1.09 based on the date). I recalled that the game actually repicked "normally" if it got the dagger poison or a skill allready picked, that is, it looped and picked until it got a possible one. So no loophole were you could at times get an uber skill. SInce there should always be possible skills and the selection of possible ones would be low, it should not (at least practically), be a problem of infinit looping. ANyway, if poison dagger or existing skill was picked, it would still pick in the same group, not among all of the skills for the class. Or did I missunderstand peoples concerns?

There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
