Some of the combat messages at the higher level start to get super cool, making your character look like a straight up combat god, and that is AWESOME! I would love to see a little variety though in the form of branching stylistic options.
Something like an @options combat styles where at the higher levels (maybe E or D and above?) you get to choose from 3 different messages. Maybe they lean towards more defensive or offensive and give a slight edge in that direction?
Maybe if you get your skill up to B or A you even get to write your own with staff approval that is specific to your character? Perhaps too cumbersome for staff oversight but how cool would it be to have a special move that only your character does while opening up a can of Spurt on somebody?
