I been hitting a wall thats been keeping me from tinkering on a game.

class Damage:
def shortsword():
    shortsword=randint(1,6)+1
    shortsword=int(shortsword)
    return shortsword

I been wanting this number to pop up as part of a message on print and then use the same number as part of another function to help with subtracting of health on the target. Though each time I grab this it is always going to change.
