In file handler.c, routine affect_total(), there's a line like this: i = (IS_NPC(ch) ? 25 : 18); This line will override any race or eq bonuses that make a stat more than 18. You can fix this several ways. The easiest is to increase the max (change the 18 to a higher number), though that will allow all players to get over 18 with eq bonuses. If you don't want that, you can instead change the lines after the above line to look something like this: Old line: GET_DEX(ch) = MAX(0, MIN(GET_DEX(ch), i)); New line: GET_DEX(ch) = MAX(0, MIN(GET_DEX(ch), MAX(ch->real_abils.dex, i))); Then if the player has a natural 19 or higher dex, that will be their dex cap.
