One other thing, though.  Maybe you want your code to cascade the
decision like that.  In any case, your code works just fine on my
system, as long as I properly #rand my power, smarts, and speed :-)
On 1.8.6, the if/elsif construct seems to correctly jump out.  In
other words, if my power is 13, then it will will leave the loop with
the second result and never get to the fourth.

My distribution for 10_000 people for one run using rand(20 for each
attribute turns out to be...

adventurer: 211
laborer: 2260
courier: 416
teacher: 1261
commoner: 5852

...which doesn't look too bad.
