Guess we owe you a 'thank you' for leaving the project in good hands

As a last minute addition to v3.60, I've included a tiny component which expands the racial saving throw bonus tables for Dwarves, Gnomes and Halflings and makes them account for Constitution scores above 18. In the original game, the racial saving throw bonus was capped at +5. With the new table, it goes up to +7. The expanded table follows the established progression rate: +1 bonus for every 3.5 points of Constitution:

Constitution score   Saving throw bonus
4-6			    +1
7-10	    		    +2
11-13			    +3
14-17			    +4
18-20			    +5
21-24			    +6
25			    +7

By the way, although this component is based on PnP rules, it's not exactly AD&D canon, so I've put it in the Gameplay Tweaks section. Enjoy!

^ What would "AD&D canon" be?

Officially, the bonus stops at +5 i.e. the core books have no entries for constitution scores above 19. See here.

I guess they didn't expect player characters to go any higher than that.
