You'll want to use .rand for a certain number and add it as an attack 
modifyer... basically adding it in, then subtracting it when you don't 
need it. Or just use a variable for base stats.

Printing on screen is easy,though if it's like R-warriorwith it's 
showing positions on screen you'll want to use print and \n for a new 
line.

Though for a text doc, you might want to use a Yaml doc and just read it 
with notepad or WordPad.
