(See the best response by Kaiochao.)
Basically, I'm calling the item level. If it is level 1, this happens. But it says this is an invalid expression. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with that H var trying to be added to manabonus, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

if(1)
   var/dice = "3d6"
   var/H = roll(dice)
   {firebonus+=1;manabonus+=H;value+=rand(1,25)}

Get rid of the curly braces. You don't use those in DM unless they're around a code block, and you can't make your own sub-blocks.

Cool, no more compile error but i don't have a way to check item stats in the game yet so I'll see if it worked later. Thanks for the help.

The brackets aren't the issue; the placement is.

if(l){ var/first="first"; var/second="second"; third++; ect; }

Works just fine. Infact; I use this method to condense my codes once I feel they are complete.

[EDIT]
The condensing does make it rather dificult to read for those less experianced. Deffently harder to debug.
