In 2nd edition exalted you can only get an attribute past 5 dots if your essence is also past 5. How does this work with artifacts?
For Example
Crown of Thunder(Artifact 5): Once Attuned (10 motes) it increased her physical attributes by 3 dots.
If an essence 3, Solar who had strength 5 attuned to this helmet would it increase his Strength to 8 or would it be capped at 5 until his essence was raised?
