Code:
mob
    verb
        attack(mob/M as mob in oview(1)) //attack a mob within 1 tile of you
            usr << "You attack [M]!"    //send this message to the usr
            oview() << "[usr] attacks [M]!" //send this message to everybody else
            var/damage = rand(1,10)        //assign a random # to a new variable
            world << "[damage] damage!" //tell the damage to the world
            M.hp -= damage

var
   hp = 100
   str = 2
   def = 2
   damage = 0
   src = 1

Assuming that what you posted is exactly right, your problem is that there is no mob/hp variable, all the variables you declared were global. Just make the variables for the mob.

You don't have to define the damage var twice, delete it from the:

mob
    var
        damage = 0


And just have it as:

            var/damage = rand(1,10)

He has the mob/var stacked:
mob
    verb
        //Verb Stuff
    var
        //Var Stuff

Since he used 2 different code boxes, that would imply the code is in 2 different places. Neither is there any indentation posted before "var".
Besides, gee - tell you what - if he did have it like that, he wouldn't get his error.

He could, because in the

mob
    var
        damage = 0


It is stating that the damage is 0, but with the other it is stating that the damage will be random, 1 - 10. So DM could get confused......

Except, the only error is about the HP var, not damage.
Not to mention having an object variable with the same name as a local variable is perfectly legal. They're accessed in a different manner, therefore Dream Maker can differentiate between them. Of course, his implementation of both of them is unneeded, but it will not cause an error - only the programmer would possibly be confused by this, not the compiler.
