From what I have seen, Marauroa has only a very few parts to be touched at=
 all (primarily I miss a 1 player : n characters relation), but that isn't=
 on the top ten list.
What bothers me more, are the deep class-hierarchies (not least but for pe=
formance-reasons). This is but a gut-feeling, though, I have to examine it=
 further.

Does anyone here have or knows of a tool to print or at least visualize cl=

Yes, indeed. But still, there is no immediate need to invest work here, as=
, in a way, the client follows the server: We'll know when to start workin=
g things out, because there will be no choice. Because of the server-based=
 principles of Marauroa, there aren't many pitfalls to take care of on the=
 client side regarding design and planning.

The only exception for me is the hp-bar. Where the *#+#*! is the code hidd=
en that displays and changes the bar... (Ragnar dives into the code again)=
.
