Characteristic training: Fellowship bug or im stupid ?

[Gurig]

Hello community.
The character became level 4 and I decided to raise the fellowship stat. And nothing changes at all, not characteristics or skills. What didn't I understand?
A character at level 3 has the following characteristics:
Fellowship 55 (humanity's finest - fellowship +10, noble +5, fellowship advancement +10)

Other characteristics are fine. Is it possible that there is some kind of block here?

Humanity's Finest doesn't stack with training increases from *some* sources. It actually seems to work (for the most part, at least?) when you have a level-up that *only* lets you pick ability increases based on archetype, but not when you try to use a talent to increase an ability. You just have to pay attention to the little bonus number next to the ability score to see whether it's working or not.

So unless you really, absolutely need to pour everything into that attribute and weren't planning on increasing other ones, you can work around it to some extent. (I was in the same boat as you, started off with a RT with 50 Fellowship with a bonus from Humanity's Finest, thought it was going to be a big problem, but I'm currently at around 90 Fellowship and 160 Persuasion in Act 4, although some of that is item bonuses. But I wasn't relying on a lot of Fellowship Bonus-driven abilities, the Persuasion thing was secondary to shooting stuff for my character.)

It seems to work the same for other characters from what I remember, BTW, you can't increase Argenta's Agility with talent picks, can't increase Abelard's Toughness, etc., but you can do it with the "dedicated" ability level-ups.
