&gt; &gt; With all due respect, your paragraph illustrates one of my major
&gt; &gt; complaints with combat on virtually every mud I've ever played. Why is
&gt; &gt; just doing damage so important?
&gt; 
&gt; *ding* *ding* *ding* :) Wouldn't it be a far greater challenge to
&gt; _subdue_ your opponent? I mean really... you don't shoot a wild horse,
&gt; you "break" it :)
&gt; 
&gt; Things to think about...
&gt; 
&gt; -Holly

Aye, but how do you keep track of how 'broken' the horse is??  I'd bet
it
relates closely to what most of us now use as HP :)

Of course, the 'battle' messages would be different, and you wouldn't
have
to code that nasty part that turns mobs into objects!!

Ben, feeling a little mischievious.
