Access masks by profile fields?

[Mr. Santa]

Hey hellsatan, thanks for your suggestion...
However, I can't use the usergroups, since I already use those for a level system. You see, within each race you can have a different level, ranging from apprentice to sentinel... Otherwise I'll have to make a usergroup for each level within each race, so human apprentice, dwarf apprentice, human man at arms, dwarf man at arms, etc... But that will amount up to 40 usergroups in total, and that's a bit too much to handle in my opinion, especially when you have to set the access masks for 40 usergroups in each and every forum..

So I really think it needs to be access by custom profile fields, I just hope that someone has an idea on how to handle this...

Edit: btw, you also mentioned that the users could choose their race, but I don't think that's necessary since the admins appoint everyone in a race... That way we can keep it balanced between the different races...

Thanks & greetz,
