just a quick example
Code
/// <summary>

/// </summary>
public class WorldObject
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }

public virtual void DealDamage(ref Character enemy) //virtual so you can overwrite it for your player if you want, or do some BASIC calculation for baisc enemies/players and more advanced for Bosses or special...
{
//here you write somelogic, if the enemy successfully attacked
//this. defendet or counter attacked etc.
CurrentHealth -= enemy.Strength;

}
[Flags]//you can list all you effects/buffs/debuffs here, or you can have several enums for "elemets", "buffs","debuffs", i choose this because with flags
//you can do combinations...but you you need to calculate it out for example the value of fire+resitence needs to be unique for FireResistance
public enum EffectName

that's why i mentioned that i would like to help :)
there are lot's of little things if you do them or correct them right now you will save a lot of time later :)
there are some RPG XNA tutorials which you should read, even if you don't use XNA ... it gives you some good training
You should add folder structure like:
Project
|___Enums
| |____Classes (mage, warrior etc)
| |____Elements (Fire, Wind, Ice etc)
|
|___Items
| |___Weapons
| | |___Swords
| | | |_Katana
| | |
| | |___Axes
| |
| |___Potions
etc..
use auto properties where possible!
the naming guideline in C# is variables camel case and properties Pascal case (
http://www.akadia.com/services/naming_conventions.html)
try to use events for things like "level up" , "death"...
i dont know if its because its unfinished but you dont use some variables in your formulas but you define them
and your attack formula is very confusing, because in the end you check the final damage > minDamage and you add 1 until its more than min damage and or you return a random number between 1 and 10...
what the heck? ... if you do a correct calculation of the damage you deal you dont need any while to add 1 until is more than min damage...
if you had planed it more carefully you would say: if my calculation returns less then the expected min damage, return min damage (and not add value x until dmg is >= minDamage.. and even then!!! you should add the difference between the calculated dmg and then min damage and not add 1 in a loop....)
you should do first a specification plan everything and afterwards start developing.. like i said you inherit from the wrong classes etc.
and rewrite the whole thing while it's still possible
have a look at:
