Berserker/SK poking issue with PEQ

[Shiny151]

I'm running a Windows 7 server configured with Addakius' updated PEQ repack. Has anyone noticed that you can't improve a Berserker's piercing skill? They can wield a 2-handed poker but the skill never increases and the Berserker Guildmaster doesn't list the skill to dump training points into either. I thought this was confined to the Berserker but a friend told me this is the case for SK's too. Can anyone shed any light on this? Using both ROF and the UF clients here.
