    My dexerity is 20, which is full. I'm a thief, and have invested about 4 points or so (one block empty) on pickpocket. I'm an expert at pickpocket, and when I want to add in the last point to it, it says raise dexerity first. But my dexerity is full, and I can't add in the last point to pickpocket. I want to go to sammie white and ask him to train me as master, but without my pickpocket skill full, I can't. I can put the point on any other skill, except pickpocket. Can anyone help me out ? I'm playing as a human, hyperactive background.

    That's quite a bug i think... never heard of it before, but try using save editor and add that point there... BTW, what race are you playing and which background did you choose? Some of them limit your skills.

    That does sound alot like a bug. How could he max out his dex if it was not and i do not think the is a race or background that does that kind of thing to PP.

    I have exactly the same problem.I've been playing as
    a half-orc techy melee/thief,I,ve got 20 dexterity
    and all but one point in pickpocket.
    When I try to add the last point to pickpocket
    I am told to raise dexterity first.
    What gives ?

    some backgrounds can give you negative modifiers to skills... Like -1 to haggle and persuasion when you choose 'only child' background. I don't remember all of them but i suppose that at least one of them can limit your PP.

    Just solved my problem.For some reason I could not put more than
    four points into pickpocket even though I am an expert with max
    dexterity.It seems you cannot raise this skill
    over four points
    if you are wearing the 'war gauntlets'.
    I would try removing gloves,armour etc and then try adding the points.
    Quite logical really,trying to pick someones pocket with iron gloves has
    got to be tough.There is no mention of any
    penalties to the gauntlets
    but this worked for me.
    My next problem-Sammy will not offer to give
    me master training.
    I have insulted him back and got his reaction up to courteous
    but still no mention of training me.
    Would some skill points in persuasion help?

    no

    once you insult him to curtious... say.. tahts enough.. or say... im beggining to think you actually enjoy insulting people... then you can get real dialouge options (what do you do, what do you know about ____, etc... he will train you at that point).
