There's a special method dealing with the response to a string conversion. Here's its signature:

def __str__(self):
    # Return the formatted string here.

Your class should have this structure:

from character import Character

class Warrior(Character):
  weapon = "sword"

  def __str__(self):
    # Return the formatted string here.

  def rage(self):
    self.attack_limit = 20

The format string you could use could be something like this:

desc = "Warrior, {weapon}, {attack_limit}"

You could then fill out those placeholder using the format method on that string, assigning weapon and attack_limit to their corresponding property/attribute, and then returning it from __str__.
