Scorpcrys is on a distinguished road
I hate seeing numbers that i don't get. I mean, when i first started playing MUDs i played one where combat was presented in formulas that i just didn't understand. It scared me off and i went on my way.

Next i found a MUD in which damage was stated in descriptions of how hard you hit. Like "You make a bonecrushing hit!", or "You make a grazing strike". All in all, it was alot more interesting and alot easier to understand for those who are new to MUDding.

Hunting, in general, was just more entertaining because you actually saw what you did to the creature. The descriptions of the hits when on, "You make a visious strike that bloodies the 'critter's' lip." And when you looked at the creature, you saw that it had gashes about the head.

So i guess my point is, when it comes to combat, blood is more interesting than numbers.
