Apologies but I thought it was clear enough at the time. You will note, though, that I also pointed out the maximum on ability scores myself so it's not as if you didn't know that I knew.I dislike the style of cutting up posts into tiny little fragments and responding to them as if they're all separate things, so I won't respond to each individual point in the same manner you did. About rare items, that is not the point. The issue is that bonuses are soft-capped, not hard-capped. And besides, rare items can be made pretty easily with a Wish spell for some minimal cost of needing to rest for a few days. Unless the game is non-stop racing against the clock, just sitting down and taking it easy for one winter means everybody can have all the rare items they want.About the example, I'm sorry but I thought this was a well known issue by now. It pertains to the Fighter's Defy Death ability and racking up enough bonuses to make the save un-failable. (A natural 1 doesn't automatically fail on saving throws.) Using the Paladin's aura is the easiest way to accomplish this.</blockquote>
