I have no problem with allowing people with exceptional stats to purchase 
their skills higher than normal.  After all, they are "exceptional".
Kevin wrote the preceding and I wrote the following:
IIRC, exceptional/inferior stats only changes the number of dice rolled for 
stat checks, right?  In that case, I could back a proposal for allowing 
+/-2 to skill caps for each rank of exceptional/inferior stat.  That would 
even be consistent with what I was talking about in my last post about 
adjusting the caps for mods based on exc/inf stats.  Other thoughts?
