I think stats should be capped.  OTOH, it would be kinda like throwing away 
the stat potions.  My opinions on stat potions:

1. very rare -- I know it won't help too much since there are always people 
willing to give them away to others. :)

2. beyond racial stat cap, the stat potions could have temporary effects and 
a percentage chance of stripping a point from a random stat.  ie, already 
maxed out on str, but need just a little more to fight the next baddy... 
quaff a str potion that adds to str, but wears off after a random time 
interval.  this benefit comes w/ a price, though... %chance that potion will 
reduce a stat either temporarily or permanently.

3. same thing when using stat pots on items.  give a % chance that the 
combination messed up & the item becomes cursed w/ -1 whatever-stat.

4. set eq-wielding races' caps to be MUCH lower than non-eq wearing races

Just some thoughts. :)

      First you raise the stats to 35, then to 40, then to 45, and so on. I
