Well, it is true that each stat point you go up it is worth more than the
previous point thus for a higher power character, assuming that they do
have high stat points, this stat raise is worth more than the stat raise
of the lower character.  Should a stat point cost more for an older
character to buy?  I think so. :)  It would be interesting, however, to
see character stats if the multiplier was just the straight cost for
increasing that stat!  Gawd!  100 strength! :)

How many older players were unaware? :)
