Don’t you hate it when an opportunity card won’t open because you have too much Watchful, Persuasive, Shadowy, or Dangerous? Then you unequip your items and try the card again, which won’t even give you a straightforward challenge? I found a trick for this. I uneqip the items, open the card, then head back to the "myself" tab WITHOUT closing the card (avoid clicking "perhaps not.") I put all the awesome equipment back on, click on the "story" tab and viola! It takes me back inside the card despite being above the max level cap. Hopefully I explained this without confusing anyone, but it has saved me a lot of frustration and I hope it helps you out as well!
This works just as well for storylets with caps, though you can’t even see those unless you already qualify.
