Subject: RE: calculating points from statistics
This worked wonderfully...the only problem I had is that, theoretically,
Inquisitor stats are "limitless" in that there is no ceiling. However, I
was forced to create a "soft" ceiling of 499 b/c rendering stats, from
0-499, in blocks of 10, took up all of the available space in the xlat stat
line, and I didn't feel like creating a second xlat: statline to take care
of the second 500...
So if anyone is creating a Bloodthirster, you have to
stop their stats at 499 if you want AB to figure their points out...
