Yes, that's the problem with the whole stradd system. I fixed it by
ripping out the system of keeping two separate str and stradd stats and
combining them into one. If the str is 18 or less, I display the
strength as that number. If the str is 19 to 23, I display it as 18/xx,
where I have xx as a multiple of 20 up to 100. If the str is 24 or more,
then I display the str as (str - 5). Make's life in that area a whole
bunch easier. :) But then, that's me. And I'm just wierd.
