[Opensim-dev] Adding "health", "stamina", "attack", "defense", "energy" and points/currency system added.

[Impalah]

I don't know enough Opensim Core and hidden implications of this proposal,
but I've been developing some extensions for my sims.

What you are proposing can be made nowadays using Plugins as it is a custom
behavior of one or several regions. You can use whatever "storing" system
for your data and define whatever vehicles you need with whatever custom
properties and apply the properties you want to your avatar.

Maybe I'm wrong but these custom applications are out of the scope of the
opensim core.

If you think as opensim as "the apache for virtual worlds", well, apache
only serves plain text to a tcp/ip port, any other job is made by the custom
modules. I use to think like that: opensim provides the basic APIs, my job
is to use them.
