I eventually figured that part out with trial and error. The thing I'm having trouble with now is that I'd like for one of the quests in my game to be for the player to clear a hoard of giant rats out of the cellar of the first inn in exchange for a reward. But I'm not certain how I'd go about working that in. I know that tocreate monsters you do it in the character creator, but yyou put Unknown for the gender. The problem is that if wanted to have, say, twenty-five rats for the player to kill, I'd need a way to set it so that they don't all show up at once. I'm also having trouble with setting up character and enemy stats. I don't want either to be too strong for the other, so I'm not sure what a good setting would be. I'm also not clear on the stamina thing.I tested my adventure thus far, but when I type Status into the box to view my character's stats, instead of numbers for stamina i got a bunch of letters. This of course made no sense. Then I'm also playing an adventure that someone else wrote and it's really confusing. It's called The Demon Hunter, and I'm thoroughly stumped. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raul A.
