If you want to go beyond the cap, it should require a lot more EP or perhaps magical intervention. I'm not trying to stop your Halflings entering Strongman competitions if that's what you want. Do you really want that? ��

Oh, I wasn't really quibbling with the idea. I was mostly objecting to the notion that playing without maximum attribute limits somehow constituted munchkin play. And pointing out that we make numerous compromises with reality in the name of enjoyment, inclusiveness, etc., without devolving into munchkinism.
