Be more descriptive. The more detailed you are, the better we can help you.

Ok.

 var
  CookiePower = 5
 verb
  CookieCommand()
   if(usr.CookiePower <= 0)//If the Cookie Power is at Zero or Below..
    usr<<"Not 'nuff Cookie Power!"
   else
    usr<<"Cookie-licious!"
    usr.CookiePower -= 1
    world<<"[usr] likes Ike!"

That's not what I meant...I meant like var/Cooking = usr.CookingSkill * 3 but I don't want it like that because it highers it rather than make it easier and lower it.

I am not exactly sure what you want, but I am guessing it has something to do with turning a skill into a percentage. Try something like this:

proc/SkillToPercent(skill,max=20)
return round((skill/max)*100)

var/list/things2cook = list(
"cookie"=2, // Cookie and a modifier of 2
"pie"=-1,
"cake"=-3)
verb/Make(c in things2cook)
var/modifier = things2cook[c]
var/newstat = cookingskill + modifier
var/quality = SkillToPercent(newstat)
if(quality <=50)
src << "Your not a good enough cook."
else
var/obj/o = new(usr)
src << "You make [c]"
o.name = c

I am not sure if thats what you want, but it is kinda a nifty snippet anyway.
