I repeated the test I had previously done with the bard and the warrior, with a monk this time. The monk can indeed go above 50% immediately upon gaining a bind wound skill of 201. So your assumptions about Monks being different are confirmed.
Everquest clients have a skillcaps text file (e.g. c:\everquest\resources\SkillCaps.txt)
This seems to indicate that the current source has the database set up correctly, but the code is likely supporting an older version of the source.
Around May 3rd 2004, the Bind Wound ability was modified so that all classes could bind wounds up to 70%. To do that, the skill caps were reset. It works the same way for all classes now. Get your bind wound skill over 200 and you too can bind wound up to 70%. Get the First Aid AAs and you can bind wound up to 100%.
So, all that needs changing is the code needs modified to work for all classes.
