Yes, that just needs an admin to extract statistics...
Or maybe just checking the highscore would help, after all it gives sp/hp/gr I 
think.

Indeed, that would work.
Another option is to use an idea Mark proposed in another thread, start with 
some fixed statistics and each level get points to distribute.

But then you need to take into account for instance a fireborn's natural fire 
immunity, which can play a significant role.

Yes, that'd work too.

Just need to decide the exact figures and formulae :)
