Borderlands – Can Borderlands class mods raise a skill past 5 points

borderlands

Basically, can I use a class mod to raise a skill past 5, or is it capped at 5?

For example, if I am playing with Lilith, and I have my Girl Power ability raised up to 4, through leveling, and then I get a class mod that adds +3, is my Girl Power now at 5 or 7?

Yes, it won't show up as 7, but it will work.

This can be verified by using Mordecai's bird of prey skill with his bloodwing and counting the number of hits the bird goes through before returning.

However, keep in mind that boosting any probability above 100% won't matter (like having more than 100% chance of shield penetration on trespass). The extra damage % will still count.
