If pushing happens, "You desperately attempt to dodge the enormous %s." If it doesn't, "Unable to dodge, you are crushed by the %s." Or something like that. My only point here is that it probably makes sense to tie the two messages together, and make it consistently sensible that your character has at least a CHANCE to trade off damage from trampling versus something else. >> I'm fine with doing nothing, but giving them herd AI sounds >> intriguing.

If it does, I'd someday like to see a psionic monster that gives most of the monsters on a level the ability to make decisions as a herd. I mean, I'd love to see it as a game author, not as a game player. > David -Wm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forrester recently released a report on the Return on Investment (ROI) of Google Apps.
