Set up formulas for attacks and such... for the game I'm making I want to set up these stats

Strength
Magic Skill
Defense
Magic Defense

I need to know how to set up formulas for something like someone with 10 strength attacking someone with 5 defense and etc.... I also need to know how to set up spells

mob/verb/Attack(var/mob/M in oview(1))
Blah Blah Blah
var/DAMAGE = usr.Strength - M.Defense
if(DAMAGE > 0) M.HP -= DAMAGE

OK... and I pretty much do the same for spells?

Yeah, but you can adjust the formulae however you want, that one sucks.

In response to Garthor (#6)
with that formula, does that set the average damage or how much damage will be done?

I'm pretty sure you've gotten past 2nd grade math. Do you see anything that would make the damage higher or lower? use rand(min,max) to have randomized damage. Even better, rand(min/2,max/2) + rand(min/2,max/2) to have damage that is more commonly in the middle.

In response to Garthor (#8)
OK... and how exactly do I combine the two?

In response to Eagle Madigan (#9)
by using +

Don't you know math?

In response to Garthor (#10)
yes so, would this work?
rand(usr. strength*.5/2 - m. defense/2, usr. strength/2 - m. defense.5/2) + rand(usr. strength*.5/2 - m. defense/2, usr. strength/2 - m. defense.5/2)

In response to Eagle Madigan (#11)
maybe, but take out the space between m and defense, and what's the *.5/2? Just do /4

Just a moment of ignorance...
