Been looking at this for a bit now and not understanding why this simple bit of code is throwing an error. Shortened for brevity:

NSMutableString *output;

...

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableString *output;

...

@synthesize output;

...

// logs "output start" as expected
output = [NSMutableString stringWithString:@"output start"];
NSLog(@"%@", output);

...

// error happens here
[output appendString:@"doing roll for player"];

Can anyone spot my mistake?
