How would I make a code that gives a chance of a player being created with something, like a rare race? Then if that is to happen, I would like to give them a special icon for their race, how would I do that?

No cuz I don't know how to use it either =P I was hoping you'd be able to figure it out since I'm pretty bad at programming. Here's an example of how I make random stuff....
mob
    var
        Race

mob
    Login()
        Race = rand(1,100)//makes Race equal a random number between 1 and100
        if(Race >= 10)//if its 10 or less...
            Race = "Rare Race"//you get a special race
        else
            Race = "Normal Race"//if not then you get a normal race

It gives you a 10% chance of getting a rare race but it's a terrible way how to do it so I don't really suggest using it...

Or you can do this: 
if(prob(10))
that's also giving a 10% chance.

if(prob(% chance of happening))
    It happens!
else
    Ill-luck :(
