Seems like the right decision for now ... charedit could be integrated
as the character/rule implementation in the game engine advances, if
necessary. Considering the complexity and numerous dependencies of the
codebase, it's probably almost impossible.

I like that idea. The fixed multipliers bothered me a little bit, as
they seem to limit the number of character variations you could get.
