If you've got 75 levels for mortals I suggest giving a point of thaco every 3 or 4 levels or so for a fighter type. Saving throws are the modifiers one gets when they try to resist a spell (usually though it can affect other things as well). Check to see what their current saves are (class.c or magic.c depending on what version of circle you use). Look for SAVING_SPELLS. I'd suggest dividing that number by 2 or 2.5 if you have 75 levels. Not sure what you've got right now though. But follow the general scheme that's shown in that part of the code. Let me know if you need further explanation. >also I am curious about where I can get a good >world builder (I am taking care of both building and >coding). You're best off posting on the newsgroups and on the mud connector. Good builders are hard to come by, especially before a mud is open and has few players. Most of the builders that you do get probably won't even finish a zone before they quit. Post what your mud is all about and what you plan to do with it, and hope that someone is interested. Chances are though you'll have to do most of the building yourself until you've got a solid playerbase. Once you've got players They'll be interested in seeing the mud grow so they can get better equipment and have new areas to explore, and that's really when you'll start getting some builders. Until then, good luck.
