Hey DUMBASS!! When you steal code off another mud, at least give them some credit. He got this idea from ROPmud (rop.ropmud.com) (n/t)

> 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)
