Interesting, why the breeding cap though? Its not something that would change with age, unless you are setting the over all power level with it. - Malikai

It's mostly just a power level thing. I may tweak it to four; haven't decided yet. - Caelene

I have to agree that the Breeding cap feels rather arbitrary and unnecessary. Breeding 5 is cool and all, but a) it's useless until the kids exalt and b) it can bring on a host of problems, such as scorn from kids with less noble blood, or unrealistic expectations from teachers and family. It's easily to balance and it can be a great plot device, beyond the rules benefit. Resplendence

Now that you mention it, taking off the cap could add some fun little things into the plot. Consider it fixed. - Caelene
