@ Alysa: Oh, that's right...I forgot that Promoted and First Classes don't share the same level bit like they do in D&D, so it's possible to end up with a 40th level character.  In that case, I would say for options A and B to hand a character 5 progression points every<em>other</em>level (meaning, at 40th level, someone would get another 100% progression), or every 4th level (meaning 50% progression).<br/><br/>And there's also option C, where a character that promotes gets 5% for<em>every</em>stat.<br/><br/>My main frustration with this progression bit is that, even with 330 points, the most you can have, assuming you're like me and only have to distribute points over 7 stats, the average stat progression is 45% across the board, with 15% left to distribute amongst the stats.  You can't even get to 50% on all stats, since that would cost 350 points.  And God help you if you want to have stats above 50% - you essentially have to have at least one dump stat for every stat that you want above 50%.<br/><br/>And it's even<em>worse</em>if you're a character who needs both Strength<em>and</em>Magic, like Myrmidons.
