Since im trying to practice python in any way possible, I decided to create a sort of intro to a text based RPG. It simply creates a character with a name and class, then displays the stats and initial inventory for the new player. Id like to create a system that allows a player to allocate an additional 20 stat points into the attributes of their choice but im having trouble figuring out how to get this done. Can someone please critique this program in every way possible? lol like tell me if it was a bad way to represent what i was trying to acheive and how it could be done better, faster, more efficiently, etc.

char_class = raw_input("\nIs your character a 'WARRIOR', 'SORCEROR', or 'THEIF'? ").upper()
print "\nOk, your character,", name, "is a", char_class
return name, char_class
