Heh OOP is great! I've found a new and much better way to handle characters now 
(Actually I read a similar idea in a book of mine and modified it somewhat...)
Here's the declaration for my CCharacter class (just to maybe inspire typosoft with some ideas for implementing OOP coding in his RPG...... and to show off)
