The cause of the undue increases in mental stats that he is seeing is the result of changes in person.gd. cour_get, conf_get, wit_get, and charm_get were all altered by Aric's mod to return the base amount plus the racial amount. mentalup and mentalup5 both use += on the getset stats rather than the raw stats, which results in the hidden addition of the racial bonuses. This problem should not be exclusive to the manual increases in mental stats and will likely require a fair amount of work to fix.
