I gave the ability for the player to set stats based on a pool of available points. I will post it up here and maybe it will help you get your code together.
You could edit this slightly and save a bit array of flags for answers to questions and assign stats at the end based on all the flags they have set.
added the following to interpreter.c in their appropriate places. I also added tmpint and selection (both integers) to the descriptor struct in structs.h. I removed classes in my mud so this is right after choosing sex.. for you it could be after choosing class or race depending on if you put races in. You also have to add this CON to structs.h.
Code:
