I just had another thought... AIME uses inclinations....

Inclinations are used during the initial login for new players. It permits builders to define and players to select certain inclinations for the race. For instance, in the elven race, most would not be exceedingly strong but amidst the elves you would find those that are stronger than most and those that are even more dexterous than others. Inclinations could include musclebound (stronger but stupider than most), scholar (more intelligent but weaker and clumsier), and on and on. Inclinations only define offsets, meaning how much the attributes increase or decrease. This means that a dwarf who selects musclebound inclination is going to be much stronger than the elf who picks the musclebound inclination. Builders should take care when developing inclinations so that one is not more advantageous overall than others or players will discover and continually select that inclination. Balance is the key. Inclinations are maintained in the inclinations area. Loading this area will allow a builder to modify, add, or delete inclinations. If you do not wish inclinations to be availble to the players, just delete all inclinations in the inclinations area and the players will not be asked to select an inclination.

Inclinations
StrOffset: The strength offset, whether positive or negative, to apply to the player for this inclination

DexOffset: The dexterity offset, whether positive or negative, to apply to the player for this inclination

ConOffset: The constitution offset, whether positive or negative, to apply to the player for this inclination

IntelOffset: The intelligence offset, whether positive or negative, to apply to the player for this inclination

Description: A description of this inclination. This can be viewed by the players when they are selecting an inclination. It should describe the advantages and drawbacks to this inclination
