Erm... I dunno if its the "supposed" behaviour or not, but I personally
like it this way. -- It lets you make NPC's use stills and such, not
to mention it really is a little unreal to say tell someone they cant
even attempt to do something because they arent proficient at it :)
Anyways, if you dont want someone using a skill before they've practiced
it, just stick something like this at the top;
if (GET_SKILL(ch, SKILL_RETREAT) < 1) {
send_to_char("You dont know how to retreat!\r\n", ch);
return;
}

The second to last field is the minimum level to use the command, and
the last field is for special args or switches I guess... for multi-purpose
commands such as go_gen_com -- take a look at how shout and gossip work.

I think just about everyone who's added multiple attacks has run into
this problem ... the only thing you need to do is make doubly sure that
the combatants have not died, fled, been summoned or for some other reason
been removed from the room and thus the fight.

I would change the previous line to look something like this:
if (percent < prob && FIGHTING(ch) && ch->in_room == FIGHTING(ch)->in_room)
This should keep the game from attempting to hit someone who's not there and
causing a segmentation fault.
