#include "NW_I0_GENERIC"

void main(){

  // Make sure script isn't misplace...will only work on creatures.
  if (GetObjectType(OBJECT_SELF) != OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE) return;
  // Get the creature that last attacked me.
  object oCreature = GetLastAttacker(OBJECT_SELF);
  // Get out if it is not a creature (PC or mob)
  if (GetObjectType(oCreature) != OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE) return;
  // Get the challenge rating of the creature.
  int nHisLevels = GetCharacterLevel(oCreature);
  // Get my challenge rating.
  int nMyLevels = GetCharacterLevel(OBJECT_SELF);
  // Just for fun...
  if (nMyLevels <= nHisLevels)
  {
    SpeakString("Ok, I'm scared!",TALKVOLUME_TALK);
  }
  else
  {
    SpeakString("I'm gonna whoop 'em good!",TALKVOLUME_TALK);
