I agree with the MODs and DP being the most important things to a warrior
along with his weapon skill.  Capping the MODs won't seriously hinder the
warrior.  I see it being very similiar to the cap on the weapon skill.
Yeah, it is possible to get that skill up to 20 but it's going to cost you
big (ie 20 * 500 = 10,000 just for that 20th point of CSE).
