Shattered Kingdoms

I think I've seen plenty of indication of this on the forum, but I'd like some clarification.

Is it the racial cap or the high end cap that an item can not raise an attribute by? From what I've seen on the forum I would guess the Racial cap. (I.E. Your race caps out in Sagacious, you can't use items to get to Omniscient)

Yes each race has a max stat. You can not improve past these with out spells. As a good rule of thumb there is one race who can reach the max of each stat.
