No it doesn't. It only has to be that way for elves. :P They could be able to learn some skills they don't have the points for. Tyvärr would make this part of their racial cool.
As it is now it's a random chance to save a small amount of gold by not having to equip the right +skill gear and consume a skillbook.
If they could learn a skill you would otherwise haveto invest points to get it would be really cool.
