Was going to, and still might, have it so: x/y Hit, if Hit then x/y 
direction. Think I'll keep it simple (and up the power from what I 
originally was going to do) and have it so that if you hit then the Av goes 
where you had decided when you took the shot.

[abridged version: any suggestions on wording? maybe two separate sections 
for ranged combat and hand2hand?]

Air Jet

-description
An Air Jet is an Arena weapon.
An Avatar Hit by an Air Jet is not destroyed.

-firing
If the target Avatar is in a cube orthagonally adjacent to the Avatar. With 
probability AvPower / (AvPower + AvSkill), a Jet Hits a randomly chosen 
Avatar (if there be one) in a randomly determined cube orthagonally adjacent 
to the specified one. Otherwise, a Jet Hits the specified Avatar.
If the target Avatar is sharing the same Cube as the Avatar, then the 
probability is increased to AvPower / (AvPower + 2*AvSkill (not exceeding 
the maximum AvSkill limit)).
(The attributes refer to the Player Taking the Turn.)
[[confusing but workable - can be tidied when re-writing definitions in 
positive tense]]

-hitting
When an entities' Avatar Fires a Jet of Air and the Jet of Air hits a 
targeted Avatar, then the targeted Avatar is propelled one cube away from 
the Avatar who targetted em, along the same trajectory they were targeted 
from [[as logic would declare the direction you were pushed in]].
If the targeted Avatar shares the same cube then the targeted Avatar is 
propelled in the direction chosen by the targeting Avatar when the shot is 
declared, with a probability of AvPower / (AvPower + 2*AvSkill (not 
exceeding the maximum AvSkill limit)). Otherwise the Avatar is propelled 
into a randomly chosen cube orthagonally adjacent.

If the Avatar cannot be moved in the proper direction, a possible direction 
other than the one the shot came from is chosen at random instead, with 
equal probability.


Rock

-description
A Rock is an Arena weapon.
Rocks are heavy, so a Avatar may only hold a rock if e posseses no other 
weapons. An Avatar may only hold one rock at a time.
An Avatar Hit by a Rock is not destroyed.[[only dazed! :D]]

-firing
If the target Avatar is in a cube orthogonally adjacent to the Avatar. With 
probability AvPower / (AvPower + AvSkill) , a Rock Hits a randomly chosen 
Avatar (if there be one) in a randomly determined Cube orthogonally adjacent 
to the specified one. Otherwise, a Rock Hits the specified Avatar.
If the targeted Avatar shares the same Cube as the Avatar taking the shot, 
then the probability is increased to AvPower / (AvPower + 2*AvSkill (not 
exceeding the maximum AvSkill limit)).
(The Attributes refer to the Player Taking the Turn.)
[[confusing but workable - can be tidied when re-writing definitions in 
positive tense]]

-hitting
When an entities' Avatar throws a Rock and the Rock Hits the targeted 
Avatar, then the targeted Avatar decends rapidly down to the floor of the 
arena [[as logic would dictate - straight down]]. Down is always defined by 
level/grid 1 of the Arena, whatever level/grid 1 may be. If an Avatar cannot 
decend to level/grid one then they decend as far as they are able.

When an Avatar is Hit by a Rock e decreases a single one of eir Stats by one 
before e may make a move within the Arena. The Rock disintegrates and is no 
more.

If an Avatar is found, and it is declared on the public forum, to have taken 
a move and e has not decreased a Stat e should have decreased, then the 
number e should decrease eir Stats by is increased by one. If the number 
that e should decrease eir Stats by becomes greater than half the Stats that 
they own then the player to declare it may increase eir Stats by one (before 
the next checking period). The player who should have decreased eir Stats 
loses any Arena items and has eir Stats for the Arena reset to New Player.

**Just noticed 'hits the targeted Av" should be changed to "hits an Av"
