Code:
mob
    Enemy
        var/Command = ""
        proc
            Think()
                return
        Boar
            list/Hit_Desc = list("tackles","charges at","bites")



E << "<font color=white>[src] [pick(src.Hit_Desc)] you!"


Problem description:
I have items in the Hit_Desc but it says there are none..This is strange.

I have it coded in somewhere else, Sorry I forgot to say.
mob
    Player

    var

        list/Hit_Desc = list()


It's a runtime error btw.

That's because the compiler is thinking it's literally this:

mob/boar
  list
    Hit_Desc = list("blah", "bleh")


This will actually make a new path type /mob/boar/list, and set that type path's Hit_Desc to the list. You need to take out list, since you don't redefine stuff as a list, since you don't need to.

mob/boar
  Hit_Desc = list("blah", "bleh")
