I noticed today that when I used a maximise spell on my character, two of my stat boosting items weren't taken into account. Possibly this is a bug?
At any rate, they were constitution gear. I played with it for a moment, but my constitution seemed to cap out and removing the items had no effect on my actual constitution until it got below a certain number.
Is there a cap to boosting stats through enchant & spells?

Is there a cap to boosting stats through enchant & spells?

You can get a max of +12 to your base stat through items, spells, etc.

How do skleens interact? They use the ioun stone effect, which as I understood it would take effect separate to the +12 cap, give you a maximum +14 boost with a skleen. I noticed however on one character that it didn't work this way recently. How is it supposed to work?
Re: Is there a cap to boosting stats through enchant & spell
Ioun stones do not bypass the cap in the way you describe. Boosts from spells, ioun stones, and equipment all count as part of the +12 cap.
Re: Is there a cap to boosting stats through enchant & spell
What you might have been thinking of is the fact that skleens/ioun stones will work on top of a Bulls Strength spell or potion, eg:
Bulls Strength Potion +5 Strength
Skleen +2
Total +7 Strength
Empowered Bulls Strength Spell +7 Strength
Skleen +2
Total +9 Strength
Of course, this isn't what is seen when item boosts to the stat cause you to hit the +12 cap.
Bulls Strength Potion +5 Strength
Skleen +2
Total +7 Strength
Empowered Bulls Strength Spell +7 Strength
Skleen +2
Total +9 Strength
Of course, this isn't what is seen when item boosts to the stat cause you to hit the +12 cap.
