Many thanks for the info on st_cmp and the prompt situation :)

Agility is basicly, in a, sense going to take dex's place, minus the
movement point section. Dex will mainly be used to get the players movement
points at creation and bonus movement points during level's. Agility will
determine how well you can apply poison to daggers to inffect your opponents
durring battle etc and many other things.

Movement points, & movement point bonus for levels.

Its not that it doesn't, rather that i preffer to have another stat that
takes half its work to make things a bit more interesting/difficult, however
you want to put it.

Yes, not many. Agility also determines movement points but ONLY at first
creation and even then it doesnt ask to much of it, it mainly depends on
your class as to what your stats need to be.

Yes it will be very obvious.

Done.
Here is what i have done with agility and power:
in struch.h i've added agi and pow to char_ability_data. in db.c i've added
both
GET_AGI(ch) = PFDEF_AGI;
GET_POW(ch) = PFDEF_POW;
to int load_char, as well as created case's for them lower down in the file:
if(!strcmp(tag, "Agi "))
GET_AGI(ch) = num;
if(!strcmp(tag, "Pow "))
GET_POW(ch) = num;
etc etc...
in pfilepos.h:
#define PFDEF_AGI 0
#define PFDEF_POW 0
in the proper places.
I belive thats it, i havent gotten around to making the app_pow etc in
constat.c for both stats, last time i tryed it complained about and
undefined local variable or something about app_pow and app_dex (I could be
wrong about the error its been a few weeks so please if its wrong try not to
laugh at me too hard. :p). Any ideas?
Thanks,
David Cole
