[1.6] Adept Prodigy does not update Possessor Bodies Reserve

[andersmj]

I had max bodies in my reserve, took the Adept prodigy (which should increase the reserve size), and I was still considered to be at max (couldn't use Possess talent).

I was able to "fix" the problem by adding a skill point to Bodies Reserve, removing the point, then exiting the level-up window.

(Sidebar: It would be handy if Possessors were given the Shoot talent in the Infinite Dungeon so they can equip ranged weapons. Somewhat like how Adventurers now get Shoot when they take a ranged Mastery.)
(Sidebar 2: It would be handy if there was a note somewhere about natural talents no longer working for Possessors.)

I think this is not a new problem - I had maxed Bodies Reserve in a 1.5 game and found a Body Snatcher mastery amulet and it did not improve my stock cap. From my Possessor guide:
"Note that Bodies Reserve does not grant more than 14 bodies regardless of a Mastery amulet - although its tooltip says 15 is possible, you won't have the option to use Possess when at 14 bodies."

Can you clarify sidebar 2? Natural talent could mean a number of things (wild gift, racial abilities, something else).

I hadn't maxed Bodies Reserve yet- I had 4 points in it and was at the old max of 12; the new displayed max was 14 but I couldn't use Possess.

Sidebar 2: I can't use the Wild Gift talents (ex. Summoning X, X Drake Aspect) of possessed bodies anymore (though Demented/Scourge Drake does work). If you click on the grayed-out skill there is a message "You are too disconnected from nature to use this power" or something like that; I recall being able to use such skills in 1.6b7 so it was a surprise.

I may have misunderstood why it happened originally - I was already maxed and could not try your fix.

I’m using Wild gifts just fine as a Possessor. Any chance you’re Undead? They aren’t wild-gift compatible.

Oops. I'm not playing an Undead but I forgot I was wearing Bindings of Eternal Night, heh. Never mind the Wild Gifts sidebar! Just the Adept prodigy issue then.
