(See the best response by Carnage Productions.)
I haven't even made any working code for this yet, I wasn't really sure how to start (I am just starting, I am reading the guide and watching video tutorials.) Anyway, the code below is what I have in my "Mob" file already.

//Mob.dm//

/*
Delcares mobs, and there variables. Along with Login() parameters.
Also some enemies.
*/

//Mobs
mob
    icon = 'Icons.dmi'
    var
        HP = 100
        Strength = 5
        CanAttack = 0
    Skeleton
        icon_state = "Bad"
        CanAttack = 1
    Login()
        loc = locate(5,9,1)
        icon = 'Icons.dmi'
        world << "[usr.key] logged in!"
        icon_state = alert("Gender Select", "What Gender?", "Male", "Female")

//Statpanel

    Stat()
        statpanel("Stats")
        stat("Name:", src.key) //Displays name.
        stat("Health:", HP) //Displays current health.
        stat("Strength:", Strength) //Displays player's strength.

No ones going to create you an attack code, id suggest looking in the forum, at get_step, some resources and a few tutorials such as - http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=109791

An attack verb would be a verb that checks to see if the user of the verb can attack, and if so, decreases the target's HP based on the user's strength.

If you don't know how to make a verb, try the DM Guide. It can be found in the Developer menu.

Something like

mob/verb/attack(mob/m)
   m.hp-=usr.Strength

mob
    verb
        Attack(mob/M as mob in oview(1))
            var/damage = usr.str - M.def
            if(damage <= 0)
                usr << "[M] easily dodges your attack!"
                M << "You easily dodge [usr]'s attack."
            else
                M.hp -= damage
                view() << "[usr] attacks [M] for [damage] HP!"
                M:deathcheck()



and then your gonna have to add

mob
    proc
        deathcheck()
            if(src.hp <= 0)
                view() << "[src] dies!"
                src.hp = 10
                src.Move(locate(1,1,1))
                usr.str += 1
                usr.def += 1

A better way than as mob in oview is using get_step look it up
