I was actually writing that from a public access terminal, and while I was 
writing it, I saw a little counter that showed ow the machine ate my money. So 
I was  a little stressed (it is amazing what stress can do for you). Right now 
I am writing from a friends place and have a little more time. 

As far as items are concerned:

for weapons we can have 4 types of weapons (as far as the graphical 
representation is concerned). Piercing weapons (forward thrust), Slashing 
weapons (swing sideways) Two Handed weapons (some kind of downwards + sideways 
movement) and of couse ranged weapons. That way Ben would 'only' have to do 4 
animations per character (sorry Ben).  How does that sound? But then I do not 
know what Ben has tried as Far as 3-D is concerned (didn't you mention 
something like that at the meeting?). 

actually we could have a weapon like the sword, which can be used for both 
slash or thrust, doing different damage depending on how it is used...
