Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Changing Skills?

Hello,

How do I change my skills (abilities), like different sword attacks, spells etc? I do not mean respec, I saw that wasn't available but I mean change sword attack 1 to something else that I have? I buy skill book, read them?

If I own 10 skills but can only use 5, can I switch between those 10 in a menu like you could when you created the character?

Thanks

I found the answer on the steamboards (Poster Stabbey).
I reposted it here if anyone else is experiencing the same issue as I did.

You have to buy skillbooks, and then right-click them to learn the skill. They all cost gold, so you need to pick carefully.

Ranger/Survivor skillbooks can be bought from the Arrow Seller at Cyseal Market.
Air and Water magic can be bought from the potion seller Vendor at Cyseal Market.
Warrior skillbooks can be bought from Aureus at the barracks in the legion camp.
Fire and Earth magic can be bought from Arhu, on the second floor of the barracks in the legion camp.

Hitting "K" will bring up your skills menu, which is helpful if you want to switch out skills (because you have more than 9).

There are 3 skillbars on the bottom of the screen, that you can cycle between, each with 9 slots. Use the arrow icons on the left to switch between them.
