It's just the sort of Tool I was looking for to work on "Class Balancing" with my own Castles & Crusades Mod/HouseRules. This will reeeeealy help me balance all the classes against each other at each level (I will be keeping the structured leveling system only because it is for a C&COldSchoolConvincesomeoldschoolbudiestoplayD&Dagainandslowlyeasethemintotheworldof20muahahahahahha! plan I have. :mad: But even though I won’t be using it as you intended right away it’s a fantastic resource for balancing.
