Thanx for the advice.

That will surely send me in the right direction.
Actually... 'my' right direction.


The only reason I would want to use someone elses
code concept, or format, is because...

I can code... i'm relatively adept...
BUT... I've never coded combat before.

Nor magic for that matter.

I was always low level stuff like telnet manip
and 'packet skills' as I so call them.
I'm the guy people ask about 'optimizations'
not 'creative incitefulness'! :)

I'm not even sure where to start the combat
to be quite honest.  

heart_beat I suppose, is a good start.

Thanx for the insight!  Always appreciated.
:)

P.S.  has anyone actually hand coded a good combat
system (player vs player or player vs monster) on
DGD before?  If it's unresonable, let me know.
In the meanwhile, I'll be hacking. :)
