Just checked this into the CVS repository: include/config.h, include/global.h, common/init.c, common/living.c, server/init.c, server/player.c, server/skill_util.c: Add permanent experience and balanced stat loss features (code by Garth Denley). Permanent experience make some experience in the skills permanent. Balance stat loss makes stat loss less likely/costly at low level and more costly at higher levels. These features are by default off, but can be turned on either in the config.h file or via command line options. Code checked in by MSW 8/1/2000
