But the idea originally came about in a context where levels in the range of 9-12 would be top of the profession and nearing retirement age for any character and where characters could not, in Balckmoor at least, play past level 20, stopping a demi human at level 7 wasn't so much of an issue. But yeah, I don't much like racial caps either
I think you make a very good point about this having to be seen in the context of the game as a whole and its development.
