Code:
mob
    create_char
        Login()
            ..()
            var/mob/New
            var/mob/OldMob=src
            alert("Hello [src]!","Continue")
            while(!charactername) //while you have a nullified name
                charactername=input(src,"Welcome! What is your name?","Character Creation")as text
                if(length(charactername)>=20)
                    src<<"Must be smaller then 20 characters!"
                    return
            var/gender=alert(src,"What gender do you wish to be?","Character Creation","Male","Female")
            var/race=input("What race do you want to be?","Character Creation") in list("Warrior","Archer","Mage")
            var/M=text2path("/mob/characters/[race]")
            New = new M
            New.icon = 'Icons.dmi'
            New.icon_state=copytext("[race]",1,4)+"[gender]" // So for example, you call your male warrior's icon_state: Warmale              
            New.name = name
            src.client.mob = New
            New.loc=locate(1,1,1)
            raceskills()
            del(OldMob)

mob/proc
    raceskills()
        if(src.race == "Archer")
            src.verbs += /mob/archer/verb/Fire
        if(src.race == "Warrior")
            src.verbs += /mob/warrior/verb/Slash
        if(src.race == "Mage")
            src.verbs += /mob/mage/verb/Psuedonym

umm .. just a guess here u might have 2 make it usr.race ill look over the code if that dont work

In response to JRR-Zero
I try to avoid usr in procs as much as possible, but I've tryed though, didn't work

And there is a race var for mobs?
By the way, why are you setting a variable for src then only using it as a del() argument? Just remove that and use del(src).
You might want to pass an argument through raceskills(), as in your New var.

I've made
mob/var
   race



Solves the error, but gives a runtime

runtime error: Cannot modify null.race.
proc name: Login (/mob/create_char/Login)
source file: levelup.dm,36

I fixed that login doesn't do a thing (Cheers Cheetoz)

But now, the
mob/var
race

didn't to a thing. It needs to be the race that's made in the character creation. Gonna try a few things out, but any help would be nice! *hint*

If you're going to do that, you'd have to pass some arguements.
mob/create/Login()
  ..()
  var/mob/M
  //blah
  var/race=input(src,"Choose your race.")in list("Human","Dog")
  M.RaceProc(race)
  //blah

mob/proc/RaceProc(var/race)
  if(race=="Human") src.skills.Add(new/obj/Punch)
  if(race=="Dog") src.skills.Add(new/obj/Bite)


Or you can do it this way:
mob/create/Login()
  ..()
  var/mob/M
  //blah
  var/race=input(src,"Choose your race.")in list("Human","Dog")
  RaceProc(M,race)
  //blah

mob/create/proc/RaceProc(var/mob/M,var/race)
  if(race=="Human") M.skills.Add(new/obj/Punch)
  if(race=="Dog") M.skills.Add(new/obj/Bite)


I'm assuming you didn't make a mob var for "race".

And I'm assuming you didn't read the other posts, now, did you?

hm.. i decided to make a new inviroment 2 test this out and i have 0 errors heres the code.
mob/var
    race
    charactername

                charactername=input(src,"Welcome! What is your name?","Character Creation")as text
                if(length(charactername)>=20)

I've already fixed that, and it won't work. You've done it wrong you know.

See, you've already made a
var/race=input(...) in list (...)


And then you make a
mob/var
   race


If you could read, you would see I've already tried that and that it didn't work, because you're overwriting 2 variables at once.

Now don't go on and tell people you can make a library.
