Hum no, spell casting for instance takes a variable amount of time depending on the spell :) Also some commands take more time, I think > And in many ways, the above makes a fair amount of sense - some objects > should modify certain action speeds, and not others - for example, speed > boots should reduce cost of movement, but really shouldn't reduce cost of > swinging a weapon. > > I think this would also need to be explored more - one quick concern I > have off the top of my head is that all the different actions may now have > custom code to figure out extra cost for this action based on various > attributes.

Let's have variable speed for different actions first, then adjust slowly :) Nicolas -- http://nicolas.weeger.org [Petit site d'images, de textes, de code, bref de l'aléatoire !]
