The only problem I see with this (not having checked the code) is: how many times per second will the event be triggered? Doesn't this have the potential to bring a server to its knees?

Yes, it has the potential, as I noted. This isn't the final implementation serverside, but a quick add for anyone that wants to play around with this in their perl scripts. The way to go about using it would remain as creating an EVENT_HP sub, and accessing a, for example, mobhppercent variable.
I imagine it will be written this way: 1) keep a global list of mobs with aggro, 2) start a timer of 20 seconds or so, 3) run EVENT_HP for each mob in list. But that won't change how perl scripts use it, so it won't matter to script writers. Of course there may just be a timer inserted into how it currently functions. That could work too.
