Good idea on the calculators. What is a benchmark calc, though? Do you mean an indicator of lowest experience/2 in the party?

A calculator where one can set the amount of XP allowed to be used in character creation so that once the character is at that level of experience it disallows the addition of new skills. For example: In my game I may allow a character to start at 10,000xp. With this XP the player must generate his character by purchasing levels of experience and skills, spells, attribute points etc. The calculator would be set at 10,000 and when 10,000 is reached, a warnng is displayed and no new skills may be added. Also, imagine a character with 43,604 XP dies. The player wishes to create a new character, of course this character will start with 21,802 XP. The player sets the calc to 21,802 and begins gening his character.
The same applies to Race creation and profession creation... although i'd hold off on profession creation for now, since the changes i'll be proposing will have an affect on that aspect of the site development.

Ah, I see. Yes the player does have ability to enter in starting experience. I've got all mod built but haven't yet loaded it to the site. There are still a couple bugs to be worked out, and then it's up.
