There might be races that have greater/lesser wisdom on a whole, or some might have to work harder to attain the heights of others (due to the penalty/age), but not that any particular race or races cannot reach an 18 score in widsom.MULTIPLE EDITS (AS I RAMBLED): Coming from a Mystaran-setting background I dont see elves as more intuitive. I do not see dwarves as particularly willful - they are just more resistant to magic in general, but not more willful. Wisdom can also be seen as the level of insight permitted to mortals by the greater powers. Greater insight will provide mortals the ability to discern hidden truths automatically (illusions, invisibility, hidden/overlapping planes...etc).Another one of my thoughts, a point of Wisdom can be awarded when characters begining understanding the relationship of the various planes, the multiverse, the reason/purpose for their existence within the cosmos, becoming an immortal - any matter of real truths...so the 18 cap is gradually increased during the course of the campaign as the DM begins with the setting revelations. Although, in fairness this can all be handled best via the Insight skill (so intead of 1 point awards to wisdom, rather increase the character's insight by 1). <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Perhaps the best solution is for there not to be a cap for Wisdom. That is what I'm leaning towards. Given my flatter tables a +3 or even a +4 won't break the game and one would sacrifice a lot to achieve such modifiers in a point buy system.</blockquote>
