Miffy starts with 10 HP and 10 attack and gains 2 of each for each level she gets. That will be her max HP just like for heroes.

And another question, this time about a stake:

Does it work like a regular weapon (you have to hit with the stake instead of the sword or magic staff) ? Or does it work like a slingshot or an arrow (alongside your regular weapon, anytime during your round) ?

Re Miffy's boyfriend: Does the vampire pulls HP and heals from Miffy's attacks too? In the description it says " pulls hp from you".

Re Miffy: I've just noticed that she reaches lvl 1 at 10 xp. Does it mean that she starts at lvl 0 (hp 10, ap 10)? and then she's hp 12 & ap 12 at lvl 1?

Zuzana wrote: "Re Miffy's boyfriend: Does the vampire pulls HP and heals from Miffy's attacks too? In the description it says " pulls hp from you"."

I'm confused about this. Does this mean if he attacks me and now I have 10 hp, He heals by 10 hp? What about when he attacks Miffy (and if she dies he gets 0 hp?)

Also does this occur BEFORE Lady Ysmay heals?
(Hero attacks EX (19) ==> EX 131 HP
Miffy attacks EX (12) ==> EX 119 HP
EX attacks hero (18) ==> Hero 13 HP
EX takes 13 HP ==> EX 131 HP
Lady Ysmay heals hero (+5) ==> Hero 18 HP)

And if Miffy dies, can we leave her and resurrect her AFTER the battle, or does it need to be right away"?

Rebecca, I interpret it this way.

I attack the vampire
Miffy attacks the vampire
Vampire attacks me with AP: 20-2 (shield, Rocky)=18
=> I lose 18 HP, the vampire gains 18 HP.

What I lose, the vampire gains.

Do I have a story for you! Tell no Tales

Queen Skye was the curious Queen in the entire world. She climbed everyone in Novel Kingdom. But the damsel she cared for the most was Father Brown. Lady Jenny wanted to be her nightmare. It went quickly!

The End.

"She climbed everyone..."?! Lol! Jenny, what a kinky story. :O

That and there's a cross-dresser or transvestite (Father Brown is the Damsel)...

Bahahaha i love it!

It can work at any time after the vamp is at or below 50 HP.

Yes

When the vampire attacks you, he'll pull hp from you and heal himself. (So vampire hits for 20, you take 20 damage, he heals 20 damage. Vampire hits Miffy for 20, Miffy takes 20 damage, he heals 20 damage. He can only steal what he hits for, so shield would reduce both values.)

He steals HP from Miffy too when it's her turn to be attacked.

You can resurrect Miffy after the battle but she doesn't get XP then for that fight.

I'm planning my battles with Halloween monsters from Oct. 8th, but I'd love to get some help with Miffy.
I think I figured it out correctly with Pumpkinhead and Troll, but I was wondering... would anyone be so kind to check the math for me regarding Miffy's Ex? I'm putting the hypothetical battle under spoiler.

Thanks so much in advance!!

Me too :)

Kelly, in Sara's battle: shouldn't the stake be used as soon as the vampire hits 41 XP (in round 4)?

It wasn't clear, that's why I asked this: Moderators of NBRC wrote: "Zuzana wrote: "And another question, this time about a stake:

It can work at any time after the vamp is at or below 50 HP.

BTW Thanks for answering all my questions. I appreciate it. :)

Re: Spirit - Lady Ysmay heals Hero after Spirit curses health, right? So something like this could be possible? (view spoiler)[

Great, thanks Kelly :) I was a bit confused actually so I preferred to ask. I now see that it was a bit too much to pretend ;D
This event is so much fun and you're so creative, thanks for such effort!

I'm glad you guys like it :) Maybe we'll have to do another similar one soon. It's easier just tackling one or two items at a time.

If anyone is looking to make some gold, I've updated my "looking for" books in the Open Market.

Kelly, does it mean that I can "give" Miffy any available potion to use during battles (to enhance her own abilities)?

heal potions (I would think that's clearly a yes)
but what about damage, weapon enhance & growing strength potions?

It would be quite costly, buying all those extra potions, but it could be really handy while battling some advanced badass Halloween monsters.

I have an egg if someone needs it. Good for a week. :)

I'd like it please!

Yes, you can use potions on Miffy. She just uses up her own potions so one shield potion wouldn't work on both of you, you'd have to use 2.

Phew. Back up to date again. Sorry, the weekend got away from me :P Let's see how you handle these new baddies. The stakes are getting higher! (pun intended)

Necromancer: does the Area of Effect blanket work on him +skeleton?

and Will-o'-the-Wisp: is it halving base weapon power, or with all add-ons?

e.g., My attack is staff + orb + horse + int dog attack (all of which remain the same each round) + Growth bauble (which is +1 each round)

Which of those elements are halved?

I cannot express enough how amazing the enhanced weapon + Lady Ysmay have been this month!

Can the hero and Miffy split up attacks? Like Hero can attack Necromancer and he's dead, so Miffy attacks a skeleton?

And can someone look at my Necomancer attack and see if it's correct?
(view spoiler)[
October 15
Necromancer - 15-2 Attack 100 Health
Skeleton - 5-2 Attack 30 Health
- Every round before the Necromancer attacks, he summons a skeleton. Then he attacks followed by each of his skeletons. They will all attack the current target of that round. Both the Hero and Miffy have the option to give up an attack turn to place 1 Essence around the room. Placing the Essence of Fire, Essence of Ice, Essence of Earth and Essence of Wind around the room will bind the Necromancers powers and stop him from being able to summon more skeletons. Existing skeletons will continue to be an issue until defeated.

Hero: Sword: (20+3 attack), HP= 16
Miffy: 24 attack, 24 health
1 enhanced weapon potion in effect

1) Hero attack 23, but doesn't attack
Hero takes 1 major heal potion ==> Hero 31 HP
Hero and Miffy lay 2 Essence

SkeletonA attacks hero (3) ==> Hero 15 HP
Lady Ysmay heals hero (+5) ==> Hero 20 HP

2) Hero attack 24, but doesn't attack
Hero and Miffy lay 2 Essence - no more skeletons
Necromancer attacks Miffy (13) ==> Miffy 11 HP
SkeletonA attacks Miffy (3) ==> Miffy 8 HP
Lady Ysmay heals hero (+5) ==> Hero 25 HP

I have this question too! I just did the total attack with everything For now I have it this way:

Round 1: 23 attack
Round 2: 23+1 (growth) / 2 = 12 attack
Round 3: 12 + 1 (growth) / 2 = 7 attack (rounded up)
Round 4: 7+1 (growth) / 2 = 4 attack
ETC

Rebecca, I think you have to halve all the attacks, the first one, too.

Quote:
"The Will-o'-the-wisp will zap the strength of the Hero and Miffy every turn cutting their attack power in half."

Zuzana, the example has hero & Miffy attacking full strength for round 1 - that bit was clear - and a relief, frankly!

Quote:
"Example: Round 1, Hero attacks full power, Miffy attacks full power, Will-o'-the-wisp halves attack, Will-o'-the-wisp attacks, Round 2, Hero attacks half power ..."

O.K. I guess I don't get the wording:

"Round 1,
Hero attacks full power,
Miffy attacks full power,
Will-o'-the-wisp halves attack,
Will-o'-the-wisp attacks

Round 2, ..."

Please, explain to me, why the bold part is there in the round 1. I don't get it. I think it might have been lost in translation.

Or does it mean that it counts for the next round? Then Why it's not at the end of the round, it would make more sense - the monster hits you & as a result your attack is halved next round.

Sorry for being so dense. :D

P.S. If you're right, I would suggest to change the wording to:
"The Will-o'-the-wisp will zap the strength of the Hero and Miffy every turn starting in round 2 cutting their attack power in half."

I think Rebecca is just showing the effects in her example above. Technically the halving of the attack takes place in the same round, after you attack but before the Will-o-wisp attacks you but that doesn't affect your game until the next round since you have already attacked.

I agree, I think it's after the monster attacks you, that attacks your power and then its effect is seen in the next round. Either way, you get your first attack with full power.

Yep each round is hero attacks and then monster attacks so it would take effect in round two for hero and muddy but it happens in round one during the monsters half of the round.

Thanks. It makes sense now.

Half of total attack but it wouldn't affect stuff like the cat or acorn thats an independent attack.

It halves the attack at the beginning of it's turn as the first part of the will-o-the-wisp's attack. So that's why you get your first attack at full power since the wisp hasn't attacked you yet.

Everything sorted out now? :P
