I start to feel like the black crow telling you only bad comments.

The image on the main program is a very nice touch.

The value of 150 in Maximum Level is pretty high. The problem is that the form component is set with a min and max value of 0 and 100 for that field. I suppose I could change that to allow higher values (and I should definitely change the validation code to be in sync with the form components), but I'm not sure why you'd want such a high value for Maximum Level?

As for only telling me bad things - no problem! I want to find the bugs in the program and the faster you guys tell me about them, the faster I can fix them. Fixing them is usually easy - it's just that I don't find them like you guys do because I'm only testing with a limited set of data (i.e. base and balance mod).

So, keep on finding problems
