^^^^^^^^^^^^- that is your problem. the modifier is the same in
each set of levels. my suggestion is to use decimal places by doing some
subtraction and division, to change modifier. and racemod and classmod should
not be added, but multiplied (like 1, 1.2, 0.8, 2.1, etc...)

a table is easier to mess with value, imo, tho, but, a function like this could
be useful for small MUDs.
