Message: [QUOTE="thufir, post: 598655"] as in: int damageStrength = 99; or Damage strength = new Damage(); [..] Heh, I need to check out all these patterns :) [..] public class IncreaseSpeedEffect{ boolean invokingStrategy = false; double executeParam = 0.50;} and then in, say, TestDriveMonsters: Monster aMonster = new Monster(); aMonster.getInvokingStrategy(); although I don't know what invokingStrategy does! FWIW, here's some java, where each monster now has a melee object. the same idiom can be followed to add other attributes, such as a Strategy class object.
