There may be a problem with the "Stat: Lore Modifier" (21) opcode, but perhaps this is just incorrect implementation on my part. I have a bard kit that applies a spell with an effect of decreasing the character's lore by 7 per level. This works fine, except when the character is level drained. The character's lore actually increases by a significant amount and then decreases appropriately with each subsequent drain. On a character with 18 intelligence and 17 wisdom, I have 56 Lore at level 13. Level drained once, my lore increases to 127 (wrap-around?) at level 11. Subsequent level drains decrease my lore by 20 (Bard standard lore, rather than the 6 that would be appropriate for my kit). I implemented this the same way Bioware implemented the Blade's pickpocket disadvantage, so I'm guessing it's a problem with the opcode itself or with the way lore is calculated on level drain. Lore seems to calculate properly after level drain for classes/kits that don't have the lore-decreasing spell applied.
If anyone knows a better way to implement this (I think the Blade's lore disadvantage is hard-coded, but I'm not sure), I'd appreciate the help.
BUG: Lore not calculating properly on level drain?

Looks like an overflow problem, I'm guessing lore values are 7 bit integers (2^7 -1 = 127); thieving skills (which have the same problem) are 8 bit.I have 56 Lore at level 13. Level drained once, my lore increases to 127 (wrap-around?) at level 11.

I will have a look. Is this behaviour occurring without using TobEx?
