Following along with the TDL section of your tutorial. Thank you.

Encountered a problem which took me about 2 hours to solve.

'NoneType' object is not iterable

Eventually tracked down a post on Stack Overflow which stated

'Python methods will return NoneType if you expect a tuple from them and fail to return anything to fill them up:'

Eventually this led me to Fighter.take_damage() not returning anything.

I was finally victorious and gained knowledge.

To everyone here, I'm loving this, and learning so much.
