I dont really agree with this part. It makes people much more likely to use +int/wis/con items and this tends to inflate the stats of all the characters on the mud by quite a bit. It also tends to reduce the differences between characters, as the orignial, random stats are less of an influence. Just voicing my opinion on the issue. Ryan L.
