How best to implement items and weapons in my RPG. Nested classes? Delegates?

[Olivier Pisano]

Hi,

You should have a look at the decorator design pattern, it 
reduces the amount of classes to implement if you need to combine 
different effects such as elemental damage to your weapons (e.g. 
if you want flame arrows).
