Looping

Is there anyway to loop for a specific number (rather than for a number of objects)?
Basically I am trying to have a line of script repeated for "Global variable X" number of times but I can see no way of doing this.
Of course I wouldn't have to be doing this if "stat (num) of (obj): adjust by (num)" actually worked for derived stats...grumble grumble...

I'm afraid that's no use. (Well actually it is some use but it would involve using 20 condition lines).
Basically what I am trying to do is alter the PC's reaction modifier based on his alignment.
I divide the aligment by 100, use a condition to separate negative from positive and then use "stat (num) of (obj): adjust by (num)" to adjust reaction accordingly. However since that doesn't work I had to use the effect "beautyreaction +X". I wanted to use a loop so I could bestow the effect as many times as needed
e.g. if player has 1000 alignment then he receives "beautyreaction +1" 10 times. However this isn't possible either so I came up with a rather complex solution (bleugh) which selects 1 effect from a list of 20 that I made.
