Skill Caps

Your character will be limited by the Occupation your character chooses as well as the traits. You can see your caps in the planner:

You can also see your skill caps in your in-game skill list. An empty white bubble means you are able to skill up in that skill. A black/gray bubble means you are skill capped. A filled yellow bubble means you have that skill.

For example this character has a First Aid Skill of 3 but is capable of learning up to First Aid 6 but is unable to learn more than that. They have the base skill cap of 2 in other crafting skills.
