When I level up, only low-level abilities are available. For example, a level 7 single class character should have power level 4 abilities available, but I can only select level 1 and 2 abilities. Did I stumble on a bug or am I missing something?

What class (and subclass) are you? And are you sure you aren't a multiclass?

Tested on a pure lvl 8 Wizard adventurer from an inn via cheat console, no subclass. It’s entirely possible that this happens only to hired adventurers or with console cheats.

 

Same issue occurs with multiclass characters.

There’s definitely an issue with hiring adventurers. I hired a lvl 1 adventurer, but got a level 4 character instead, albeit with a limited set of ability choices.

Definitely sounds like a bug. Might have something to do with your use of the console as it works fine for me.

Looks like it’s not an issue with my main character. Only hirelings have the problem. Has anyone else tested hirelings?

Somebody else appears to be having similar problems: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/98785-hired-adventurers-start-at-level-2-messing-up-their-leveling-progression/?hl=%2Binn+%2Badventurers+%2Blevel+%2Bbug.
