I'm gonna keep plugging for no caps, but look at them each case by case.<br/><br/>I understand that in theory someone could (for instance) write themselves up as a ditzy tank, if they don't care about social stuff.<br/>I suppose then if you really wanted to emphasize equality in combat, you could resolve that by saying, there must be a clearly combat-related disadvantage of XX or more for each combat area above XX.  Or something like that.<br/><br/>But if you put a hard cap on disadvantages, then no one can take many small ones, either.<br/><br/>The more limits by numbers, the more stereotypical characters you tend to get - that's how I figure.
