The max is 26. I believe the generation is the same as in Bane (although MadGod is the expert in this and can confirm). There is essentially a 1/10 chance of getting +8 and 1/100 chance of getting +16 to a base "roll" of 1d6+4.

I believe this is impossible.

This has been done. Search the forum and you may find posts on it, although they are probably very old.

Yes. MadGod's Cosmic Forge is the undisputed best. I posted a link for it in reply to one of your other posts.

Download the Cosmic Forge. One of the options in it will explain how these are calculated and what the ranges are.

See the previous answer.
>(7) BASIC, do casting spells for

No. You can only increase Thaumaturgy, Theology, Theosophy, Alchemy and Kirijutsu by adding points at creation or level up. They do not increase with use like they can in W8.
>(8) are the character level requirements
>for spells in addition to

>thau for nuclear blast)
None. If you have the appropriate skill level, you can learn the available spells, regardless of your character level. A level 1 mage with 98 thaumaturgy can learn any thaumaturgy spell at level up.
>(9) Where is the eleven bow
>found?
In CODS, it's in a chest in the Dragon Caves. Again, the Cosmic Forge can tell you EXACTLY where. (Another is available in Bane and importable to CODS, and from there to W8, but that wasn't your question, was it?)
>(10) Do fighters get more HP

No (Lord) and yes (Valk). Again, the Cosmic Forge will answer this question.

To the extent the info's available, in the Cosmic Forge; not all of this is currently available.

And welcome to our little community. Make yourself comfortable, and feel free to stay awhile.

BTW, you can't create or login with FireFox (archaic forum code here) so if you're using FireFox you'll ahve to do like me and keep Internet Explorer around purely for the purpose of logging on here (It's honestly the ONLY reason I even have IE) 
And as WizFan has asserted, it does not work for him either. I will try un-installing various plugins, see if it's a software issues, since I realize I've given you zilch to work with, but I can't think of anything I could attempt that I haven't already done.
