# HOW TO CALL THE STATS
# player here is used generically to describe combatant, contestant, character id 
puts gladiator[1]				# skill_name[player_number]
puts gladiator[2]
puts "gl1 #{stat_name[1][4]}"   # returns chain skill description for player1
puts "gl1 #{stat[1][4]}"		# returns chain rating for player1
puts "gl1 #{chain[1]}"     		# returns chain rating for player1
puts "gl2 #{stat_name[2][4]}"	# returns chain skill description for player2
puts "gl2 #{stat[2][4]}"		# returns chain rating for player2 (chain is the 5th stat starting at zero)
puts "gl2 #{chain[2]}"			# returns chain rating for player2
# puts "verification for composites-player 1"
# each weaponry array has only one value (the sum)
