I'd like to gauge the response to the idea of making stat potions always 
increase 1 point underneath 18 and 10 points past that, and smoothing 
out the stat tables a little too.  I think this would result in a more 
linear and easier-to-grok stat system, as well as allowing effects like 
the above.

I may be being overly reductionist again.  I have no immediate plans to 
implement anything like this, but it'd be nice to know if I'll be 
lynched if I do. ;)
