There is much debate about all that, somewhere here.....
No, you can't increase your Attributes above 100 at level, but you can add up to 20 more points in each one with items like Ankh of Speed, etc.
As for the maxxing ASAP, i used to put 3 points into one of Int (casters) Str (tanks) or Dex (for Reflextion). But i've started spreading my points out a little more, because if, for example, Str, Dex and Vit are all at 80 my Fighter hits more often, does more damage, and can fight longer without resting. Once they have that, then i usually go for the Powerstrike and start adding Spd and some Sen.
My casters still get Powercast ASAP, though, because it trains up really well in conjunction with practising.
Hybrids usually go the way tanks do, esp now that all my parties are 3 or smaller. (same with Gads and Bards, except Bards get more Spd)
