Okay It might just be me, but there was a post below about a multi socket roller, and how there has been a increase in the use of them. Is this like a suttle hint to Immortals ? That Character creation is just becomeing a massive waste of time. When it should be alot easier.

1) - I've had sessions where i've had a char rolling for over 5 days, my last character took almost 3 weeks to roll, Is this stupid yes.
2) - What is the point of rolling stats ? Yes it is supposed to introduce Varience, But does it really ?
- Every player I know who roles by hand or trigger rolls for next to perfect stats. No stupid moron in their right mind is going to take a stat that is less than 15. (perhaps except charisma)
- Yes there is a random luck stat that is associated with the character generation so I have been told. Should this make a difference ?

3) - Added annoyance to rolling a character comes from the fact that you have to do it fucking often cause of how short lived a character can be. (I've even heard people saying the year long quests are pointless RP and IRL wise due to char's short life)

Possible Solution.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Type a letter to improve that stat. (S)tr, (I)nt, (W)is, (D)ex, (C)on, or (R)eset)
CURRENT STAT: RACIAL MAX: FINAL STAT
STR: 10 25 11
INT: 10 25 11
WIS: 10 25 11
DEX: 10 24 10
CON: 10 25 11
Points: 40

Costs 1 point to increase a stat that is currently 10 to 19.
Costs 2 point to increase a stat that is currently 20 to 21.
Costs 3 point to increase a stat that is currently 22 to 23.
Costs 4 point to increase a stat that is currently above 23.
No stat can be pushed past 24 or past your racial max.

*** Now this is just a example, but i think it could be applied to cf, It would bring in the varience, It would allow the Imms a much greater control over how powerfull they wanted each race to start off at etc.

All races would have set points to spend, set bonus stats, set racial maxes.

Yes i know ,going by what the immortals define as tough work, this would be a tough task. (personaly tho it shouldnt be that hard at all)

The mud is getting rid of all the so called stock sections.. Perhaps it's time to catch up 15 years worth of muds, and get a new character generator ??

Anyway this is just what i've thought of so far.
Id be pleased if comments were backed with reasons, or answers as to why they can/cannot be done.
