Bard charm level cap..

Here it says the level cap is 55:

Made Solon's Bewitching Bravura mana cost 20, name Solon`s Bewitching Bravura, effect 1 max 55

Unless something was changed since then, this appears to not be true on this server. Mobs above level 51 seem to resist SBB 100% of the time. Am I just unlucky?

Fixed, pending update.

I don't know the whole internal story behind the 39 charm. I don't know if it was meant to scale up with bard level, or had a charm cap equal to the highest kunark charms, or what. It was added fairly close to the kunark release, after the kunark spells were done. It worked on mobs up to level 55, and maybe higher.

All it took was a few gods getting charmed by bards for the nerf hammer to come down, and bard charm was changed to cap at 51. 51 was definitely the best cap pre-kunark, because so many encounters were designed assuming that cap existed. Having a higher cap made some of the toughest encounters at the time (PoS, etc.) easy.

Of course now, enchanters can charm level mobs over level 51 easily.

Looks like it should be 51.
