Hard Caps and Soft Caps

In Nyra there are hard caps and soft caps on skills. For example, there is a soft cap on every skill and primary statistic preventing them from getting above 10. However, this is a “soft” cap, because favored skills can go all the way to 20 after they have reached 10 and primary statistics can go up to 12 with the feat Uncanny or even above that with the aid of certain spells and species feats. However, all of these skills and primary statistics are hard capped at 20. Even if a spell says it can exceed the cap on a skill or primary statistic, nothing can go above 20. Soft caps can be exceeded by abilities which notate “can exceed cap.” Hard caps cannot be exceeded under any circumstance.
