would it be hard to code also skill%'s (failures and succeeds) in summary command?
it would help to keep track of my character. i have just started as fresh as icesusly possible, i think. and i love it. this would just help me, and maybe somebody else too.
more on summary

Dont know anything about tinyfugue, but hors is right. It took me something like 3-4 hours to figure out what all the terms ment, how to implement them, and bug-fixing. However, once i got everything set up how i like it, i have extensive stat triggers that tell me a ton of information about my archery, and it can be tuned, added to, or repaired within min. Anyone who likes facts/figures, or who wants to follow their skill information like they do spells should invest some time to learn how to set this stuff up.
similar system
spells/skills should bee in the same system.
they are the different sides of the same coin.
maybe it's teh coding&etc. and there no one mortal can help you wizards, unfortunately.
(what should've been and not are teh subject of eternal dispute.)

With spells you type 'cast <thingy>' and then stand around looking stupid for a while, and then stuff happens or doesnt'.spells/skills should bee in the same system.

With skills if you ingore automatic skills there are still some skills that don't fail, some which fail in multiple ways, some which have non-standard syntaxes (meaning you type something other than 'use <thingy>'. Add to that all the skills having varying degrees of success/failure (like most combat maneuvers that you'd be wanting to track) and it should be obvious that skills and spells shouldn't be the same system.
If you had thought you'd see that you don't really care how many times you hit with your combat skill of choice but how many good hits you get vs. how many shitty hits, which would be a huge thing to try to add to the game since each skill would need its own specially tailored code and a lot of them would simply not make sense to do that for.
You should either make triggers for your client of choice to do this type of thing, or else whine to everyone until someone has pity and gives you triggerset, instead of using crappy logic to say skill and spell are identical.
