I am writing a semi-automated auto-rolling script for a mud which pretty well obfuscuates the values for stats, so I translated the values back, and am trying to calculate against that. the actual meat of the script (everything besides setting variables to counteract the text for values stuff), and the output follow.

#EC @stat_str
#EC @stat_dex
#EC @stat_int
#EC @stat_wis
#EC @stat_con
#EC @stat_chr
#EC @stat prestat
stat = @stat_str + @stat_dex + @stat_wis + @stat_int + @stat_con + @stat_chr
#EC @stat poststat
#IF (@stat < 18) {n}
stat_str = 0
stat_con = 0
stat_dex = 0
stat_wis = 0
stat_chr = 0
stat_int = 0
stat = 0

STR : You have a well-defined, muscular physique.
2
DEX : You are nimble and flexible.
INT : You figure things out a little faster than most.
WIS : You have outstanding judgment--you are wise beyond your years.
2
CON : You never get sick and can run miles without tiring.
4
CHR : People enjoy your company.

Do these stats look satisfactory to you? [y/n]: 2
0
0
2
4
0
0 prestat
2 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 4 + 0 poststat
n

the problem I'm having here is I'm getting the actual math statement instead of an evaluated sum. Thanks in advance (And afterwards of course) to anyone who can tell me how I'm misusing the variable.

Either use the %eval function, or the #MATH command.
