Character Statistics

Character Stat Caps

Dark Age of Camelot employs both caps to statistics from item bonuses as well as caps to statistics available from buffs. A character that is receiving a stat bonus from a buff will see the stat received capped at the buffs delve times the cap multiplier for the type of buff (base or spec line). Stats such as Strength/Constitution/Dexterity/Quickness etc also have built in hard caps at which past the player receives no benifit what so ever.
