Same suggestion. I'd also add that the Level/XP points ratio should
raise on an exponential basis, otherwise there would be a much too big
difference between an old and a young player. In this case, precise math
formulas along with a list of relevant values would be usefull (if not
mandatory, if we want to be able to reach level n).

I'm fine with it - my main suggestion is to use formulas. Also, limiting
skills to a range from 0 to 5 seems not to be enough. As we are using 32
bits integer, let's take advantage of them! :)

On an implementation note, do we all agree with the following? : These
rules would be the Adonthell's one - the GAME, not the engine. All these
points would be implemented as character's attributes that the Python
part of the game would access, but the C++ engine would NOT depend on
them, and only provides methods to set/get these attributes. Others RP
games using our engine will certainly not want to use our rules, and
that way it will be much easier to maintain. Even a non-programmer would
quickly learn Python and a bit of the API to implement himself his own
thoughts.
