Speaking of that, I had a Char whose soul was Black, and I quit all the
evil guild, repented at the Church, and Joined all the good guilds. My
soul is now becoming purer daily. However I still have nightmare when I
sleep at the Retreat. I guess that stat cannot be changed, regardless of
how good you become.

And that is why AR is such an amazing game.... it's a pity modern RPGs
do
not
track interesting statistics like the above...

Some more variables: Encumbrance, Thirst, Hunger, Drunkness (my
favourite!)

Even weapons have many associated stats... AR was indeed way ahead of
its
time

> There are many more variables than these.. location is stored in a
variable, what guilds / people you're at war with, whether or not you
have a
light source, how much clothing you have on - whether or not it's nice,
or
shabby, warm or not, protects from disease or not, etc. etc.
