Prime Attributes

PRIME, STATISTICS
Every class has two attributes which are guaranteed to be 80 or over, these attributes are often refered to their primary or prime attributes.
During creation, the system works as follows:
If your potential attribute/stat is below 80 after you pick your class, the attribute is boosted to 80.
If your potential stat is already above 80, you will get a bonus ranging
from +1 to +5 to your stat. This is not a randomly generated number, it is
based on a formula that uses your existing potential stat. If you have a
96+ in your classes' prime attribute, it will now be at the mighty 101!!
The classinfo command can be used to display the prime stats for each class.
This system adds a whole new dimension to the character creation
process. There is now a bit of strategy involved and you have a bit more
control on how your character will come out. Let's say you want to make a
warrior, and have decent stats in almost everything, but your ST score is at
a measly 22... If you accept that roll, the warrior's ST will be boosted to
80. Or, do you reroll again, hoping for something in the 90s so that you
have a chance to get the 101, at the possible expense of your other stats? In any case, the end result is in better stats, so be happy :)
