Actually it seems pretty good, although what they are wearing should
slow them down a bit more, as well as what they are carrying , maybe the
weight of what they are wearing / 40 and the weight of what they are
carrying / 20 or something like that. Anyway there should also be a
penalty for strength, as well as an incrase in speed for int, as they
would probably arrange the things they are carrying more intellegently and
in a better order to give them more freer movement, and quicker reactions,
due to their enhanced intellegence. Constitution would also enable them
to move a little faster without being tired.
As far as the exccessive calls to pulse violence, I'm thinking it might be
a cool idea to maybe create the function that pulses violence, as a
thread, and include damage and hit in that thread, this way it wouldn't
have such a profound effect on the mud's performance.
