Are you defining the stats under the Stat() proc? eg

Stat()
stat("HP",HP)
stat("GP",GP)

if not, thats how you do it.

Take out the duplicate definintion. It means you did something like this:

mob
var/X
var/Y

mob
var/X
var/Y

You want to create sub-mob, like this:

mob
Stupid
var/X
Smart
var/X
var/Y

Of course, everything inherits, so...

mob
var/X
Stupid
Smart
var/Y

That's good, but you need those vars to exist in the first place. So you should define the vars under /mob:
mob
  var/hp
  var/maxhp
When you use the var/ part, it says that you're declaring a brand new variable. When you don't use var/, Dream Maker assumes the var has already been set up and you're just overriding the old value.

I can actually save you a little typing here so you don't have to always set hp and maxhp the same. The solution: Set hp in mob/New():
mob
  var/hp
  var/maxhp=1  // a default

  New()
    ..()       // just in case
    hp=maxhp   // now set hp to max

mob/player
  maxhp=100

mob/bug
  maxhp=30
New() will be called whenever the mob is created. Thus your hp can be set automatically for you.
