Attributes over 100 confer the following:

STR: Power Strike~~ abitlity to strike a weapon so hard, it has greatly increased chance of penetration.

INT: Power Cast~~ ability to cast a spell with such force that it increases the original effectiveness and duration and makes it more difficult to resist.

PIE: Iron Will~~ Strengthened mental and physical will that increases the char's resistance to such things as magickal spells and side effects of phys attks (paralysis, fear, etc)

VIT: Iron Skin~~ Strengthened mental and physical will that allows a char to absorb dmg, reducing actual phys dmg done to her. This skill has NO effect on magickal dmg, however.

DEX: Reflextion~~ Increases a char's A/C by allowing the char to move so fast that a double image is created.

SPD: Snakespeed~~ Allows chars to move with lightning reflexes increasing their personal initiative.

SNS: Eagle Eye~~ The ability to successfully hit and penetrate a creature with a ranged weapon.

yeah. i think those might qualify as a "mild" bonus for reaching 100 in a attribute. think that might explain why peeps insist that you raise your attributes over 100?

V***V

PS: your skills will continue to rise above 100 thru use, even tho you cannot add more points.

Maximum for attributes and skills is 125. I have items that add +20 and +10 senses but on my ranger of 100 senses, max is 125. Someone in my party has polearm of 118 and when i use the dread spear which adds +20 polearm (i think), again max is 125. Skills above 75 can only increase through training. 100 in attributes allow access to expect skill mentioned above.
