Hmm, an interesting idea has emerged regarding the development of the heroes themselves.
What if...
4. Starting hero stats:
All heroes have a racial skill of level 4 and 4 additional skills.
The starting stats of the heroes are equal: stat probability / 10.
And in general, his mod had many ideas that seemed strange/unbalanced/shocking at the time, but which, after some time, other mod developers also came up with.
Nargott, are you, by any chance, a reincarnation of Psionic? :D
