yes, when my wife and i build the spreadsheet with the race/class stats, one of us sat ticking through the character generation screen menus, reading out attributes and the other dutifully typing away in excel.

i've since built a vba front-end with a pull-down menu for class and a collection of tick-boxes you can use to select the attributes you're interested in. then a table shows the starting stats for the races (including bonus) as well as a ranking by total stats (incl bonus) for the selected attributes.

ranking is not the only consideration in selecting races for classes, but it helps get my thoughts organised.

thanks for the link, that definitely sparks some new ideas, particularly for priests that i havent historically enjoyed playing. i just might breathe some life into these dwarves yet!
