Subject: Re: Question: Dynamic code execution

My problem is, how to formulate the rules in ruby?
Let me give an example:
Lets say in an RPG context, the max skill level is 10,
but if the player chooses to be an elf, he gets 11 as a
max skill level in bow shooting. Additionally there
exists something like a special feature which increases
the max skill level by another point.
At the moment I'm thinking about a mini DSL based on
method_missing, but I'm looking for alternatives.
