gb,

you are 100% correct ... here is the confirmation from the boards. [img]smile.gif[/img]

There's not a STAT cap restriction per say but a STAT BONUS cap restriction. Important difference.

There is no max on what your stat can be raised to but there is a max on how much enchantments can add to your stats and how you purchase your stats.

In NWN the max bonus from items/spells was +10.
In SoU the max bonus from items/spells was +12.

The max you can initially purchase in a stat was 18 with a max bonus of +2 from race. This resulted in a max starting stat of 20 plus a potential of +5 from levels. Adding in the +10 from items spells the max you could have is 35 in NWN. SoU effectively raised that to 37 because items could give another 2 points.

HotU will further raise this. They will be adding an addition of up to +10 from bonus levels, +10 from bonus feats, +8 From 10 levels of DD making up to 48 (for strength) not counting item bonuses.
