oh yeah, I forgot something (other than the second "t" in my name) Steve also mentioned the dragon breath effect for dragon NPC's and maybe even PCs. there was a trick for enabling spell effect attacks with your players in FRUA that enabled you to get troll healing or dragon breath or even Iron golem MR (immunity to every spell but lightning, which slows you...) the problem with this trick is you as an active player couldn't use any special attacks (like beholder gaze or dragon breath) because there simply was no command to do so. You could use the "quick" command to enable the computer to control your character and the computer might use it (same chances as a monster from using it), but you did not have active control. There might have to be some way of using this special ability made so that a designer could allow this. Even ideas such as a kender "taunting" or a paladins dispel magic with holy sword might have to fall into this area, unless you treat it like a spell that you have to "memorize" (who honestly memorizes taunts...(ok, I admit I remember a few REALLY good yo' mama jokes...)). This would be for a character who has the ability at any time instead of like reading a scroll and either using its effect or wasting it, another example would be a potion of dragon breath, where if you don't choose to belch out a flame after (guessing at it for example) 6 rounds, then you sustain damage from the volatile potion.
