How about...
Don't just immediately stop once you level so you can adjust your skill and stat points...
Finishing the current level with one less skill points and 5 less stat points isn't going to make or break anything.
If it's a major milestone like 20 or 25 and you have all new gear to put on, then *ask* the team to hold up a second while you equip.
Otherwise it's rude, IMNSHO, to just hold up the team while you adjust 5 stat points and figure out where one skill point is going to go..and *doubly*, no *quadrupally* rude if anyone happens to be using enhancers.

Just my 2 credits...
