However you are ignoring the point that initialy started this conversation.
Dragons and Fireborn can't weild weapons, so they end up with giant piles of
stat potions that they have no use for. So Mark was proposing that stat potions
be useable with a greatly lessened degree of success after normal racial max.
Which is something I agree would be good.
Then I was proposing that raising the cap should be raised as well though, which
now I see that raising the cap has many flaws.
