hey there everyone, so I am a bit confused atm with one of my characters. basically, I used a tome of clear though and now the character builder lets me increase my int stat with regular ASI feats now. Before it wasn't an option but all of the sudden my Int is up to 24 and ASI doesn't care about cap anymore. Im just pretty confused and im getting lots of conflicting information. Thoughts?
P.s. sorry if this is the wrong forum I didn't really know how to categorize this.
update: So I copied both the tome of clear thought and the epic boon in homebrew to look at their modifiers and they do both indeed increase your ability cap maximum by 10 (both do though but really its a single increase of 10 cause they don't stack afaik) For reference, top is the Tome, bottom the Boon
It's a long-standing bug, but I think one that probably can't be fixed with the data model they currently have, which is based on individual ability scores having a "maximum" rather than the things that increasing them having a cap on how much they can increase them by. It's fundamentally at odds with how it's supposed to work in the actual rules, but I doubt there's anything they can do about it in the current tool. It'll probably have to wait for the new version.
