Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Crossbow - Can't Level Skill

My archer has 5 ranks in Crossbow and 9 available skill points. When I hover over the Crossbow skill, it shows that it has details for a 6th rank, but there's no option to raise the skill higher.

Anyone else have this problem? Are all skills capped at 5, and you just have to use gear to boost past that...?

Sounds like a bug, AFAIK all skills are capped at 5 (incl. gear) so there should be no lvl 6 rewards shown...

I don't think there's a cap, because I have a two-handed specialist with 4 ranks base, +2 from gear, and she has 6 total ranks for it. Seems like the game adapts to you having a bonus above the native 5. I just didn't now 5 was a hard cap on all skills, heh.

All is well, then!

That is correct, there is a hard cap on 5 skill points that a player can invest. You can go over this cap with gear.
