Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Can I change existing skills properties?

The last time that I tried doing that, either it didn't work or it messed every skill up. I don't know if that is still the case. The workaround that I used was to create a new skill based off of the old one, and set everything that the player can access (Skillbooks, charcreation, etc) to point to the new skill instead of the original one.
