True. Thing is on most of the muds, the immortals are supposed to be people
who are masters of EVERYTHING. Leaning to one class or another but still
able to work miracles in other classes. Make it so you cant mort lvl to the
lvl which you get those, but then go from there.

Actually the thing I like hte least about stock is that every character of
a certain class will have the same skills. *shudders* I hate that.
Personally I am working on skill selection at creation, where you pick the
major skills/spells you want, and then when you get to the appropriate
level they will auto up to 1% rather than 0%. Im thinking I would have to
set their skills to -1 to say they have the skill but arent the right level
yet, that make any sense at all?
