   AMEN!!!! A friend and I were working on a D&D character generator for 2nd
 Edition and came up on this big time.

 Imagine: Dice Rolls -> Stats -> Race -> Class -> Money -> Equipment

   Now with a "nice" screen on which you have these attributes displayed ---
 WHAT DOES THE USER GET TO CHANGE ONCE HE HAS CHOSEN??? It gets worse, what 
 happens when the player says "Hey I want more money .. I wanna become a 
 Paladin!" The code has now become nasty to check for all of this.

   We finally said "You will do this" un-Ghost some "Now do this" un-ghost 
 some more. And if he wanted to go back to X everything "after" X got cleared.

  And I thought it was bad the mutual exclude didn't "quite" work ...... :-)
