In the final table at worlds I saw that Skip could be quite the NPE for the unlucky person seated next to skip. Wouldn't it make more sense for skip to function more like draw and let you choose who will miss their next turn? That way skip, like draw, can target the leader and wouldn't lock someone totally out of the game.

Here's the rule on Phase 10's skip card:
Skip Card – This card enables you to force someone to skip or lose a turn for that particular rotation/round. Once you discard or play it down, you can choose anyone to lose their turn.

This is why BaH! exists.

Yeah I suppose it can. You shouldn't likely get placed by the same person. A choice skip still work very well with the 2nd function of BaH. I find it odd to have to have a silver bullet for one power. I suppose Antidote is as well though. Tally is more generally useful.

Well, BaH is also very useful if the person next to you is always going 1 Go-10 Go-100 something … leaving you stuck with more Tribbles you’re likely not going to play much - so it is often worth putting the card into your deck more than just against Skip
