Question Stat Roller Snippet Problem

I found this snippet in the Google Drive. Followed it exactly. 

Problem is it compiles fine and when a new player logs in, they can spin the roller constantly until they get what they want. Thought I am going to look deeper and maybe just weight it a bit. After all players are basically heroes and should have some fair to good stats. When they say N to rolling more, it goes fine into the Start Screen. 

When I choose 1 to enter game, it crashes. 

Any help to figure out the reason would be nice. 

It doesn't matter too much as I am just puttering around with code. I don't see myself publishing a MUD again. I left that long ago. For me it is more like whittling a stick, it is fun to try and solve problem if I can. Like puttering in the garage working on something for no reason. Keeps me busy and my mind agile.

Thanks Folks for any help.


Anyways here is the snippet

While I can’t currently help with your issue, I can post a snippet of my stat roller in about 12 hours from now. I’ll also provide instructions on how to implement it, not just a diff.

I think the reroll code here is incomplete (it looks like some of the code is duplicated and some is missing).
