Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

So I just reached Level 11 (945 exp). Is there a level 12?

Yes, it’s double the exp I believe.

I could be wrong about the exp....

And Congrats!!!

each level is sum of exp from previous two. so lvl 12 would be exp from 10 + exp from 11. 13 = 11 + 12

sorry I'm on app right now and can't give you real numbers. i'll edit it once I'm on computer

That’s right! I couldn’t remember. Thanks Tea!

:)
I usually have more trouble remembering hp and have to count them from 'last known' in rules. :p

congrats Jenny! :)

Thank you!

Next 2 are up. Will catch up to the 20th shortly :-)

For the Fairy, does Miffy still have her regular attack strength or is she reduced to fighting with her fists (2 attack) like you are?

She still has her normal

For the Fairy, the hero has 2 AP + potions, right?
Which potions count when the hero doesn't use their weapon?
Poison potion, for sure. Damage potion, maybe? Growing strength potion, probably not? Wep, I guess not?

I'm good with considering fists as a weapon. They just start with a low attack power.

That's great. Thanks, Kelly. :)

EDIT: So you just need to use a separate WEP (weapon enhance potion) for your hero's fists. Makes sense.

For the Grimlock, does it lower only hero's HP? What about Miffy?

"Grimlock - 20 Attack 100 Health - Each round with this monster lowers your maximum health by 5 points. "

For the Spirit, I know that similar question was asked before, but just to be sure: When my hero has 15/35 HP, the spirit switches it to 51. Does it mean that the 51 is automatically lowered to my max HP, i.e. 35? The same with Miffy, she has 12/12 HP, it's switched to 21/12, does it lower to 12?
Or do I keep those high numbers until the end of the battle, and then what? At the end do they revert to the max HP? Or do I keep them until I deplete them in following battles?

For Miffy's Max HP and AP, she seems to levels up every 10 exp. That goes past Level 7 right, or is Level 7 her max? Does she have a max level?

At the end of the battle with the Will-o'-the-Wisps, our attack power goes back to normal after the battle? Or do we need to do anything to make it go back?

For this one the effect is moreso that you can't heal up above that anymore. So if your max hp is 15, the Grimlock reduces that by 5 then you can't heal above 10 anymore. This one isn't a switching one.

Then you have to fix the curse after battle to get back your starting max hp.

You can continue the 10 exp for additional levels.

If it doesn't give something you have to do to restore you to your previous state then you can assume that it restores automatically on the completion of the fight.

My question was whether Grimlock affects Miffy's max health, too (as in both hero's and Miffy's max HPs are lowered by 5 every turn). But from your answer I gather that it affects only the hero. And that's great news. :D

Kelly, could you answer my question about the spirit, please?

Zuzana wrote: "Moderators of NBRC wrote: "For this one the effect is moreso that you can't heal up above that anymore. So if your max hp is 15, the Grimlock reduces that by 5 then you can't heal above 10 anymore...."

Sorry it would affect both.

I missed the Spirit part. For the Spirit you can keep your elevated HP. But you can't use health potions to raise your hp above your current max hp. So it's temporary until you lose the health somehow.

Thanks for the answer. :)
Enjoying this Halloween Monster Madness so much. Great idea, Kelly!

Thanks :)

Muahahaha. You guys might not like me after this new batch :)

fabulous again!

some questions:
the Magician - what if we go in with full health? Are we cursed then? And how does Miffy get affected?
the Alchemist - what about pre-applied potions (eg weapon enhance)?
the Wizard - the fireball just attacks the same person that the Wizard just attacked, right? do shields / Rocky reduce the fireball attack?
so:
R1: Hero attacks, Miffy attacks, Wizard attacks hero; hero has -15 (main attack) -5 fireball
R2: Hero attacks, Miffy attacks, Wizard attacks Miffy; Miffy has -15, -5 ; Hero has -1 (being on fire)
R3: Hero attcks, Miffy attacks, Wizard attacks hero; hero has -15, -5, -1
R4: Hero attacks, Miffy attacks, Wizard attacks Miffy; Miffy has -15, -5, -1; Hero has -2

Or does the being-on-fire damage hit the same round as the fireball hits? (i.e. R1 Hero has -15, -5, -1)

Very creative, Kelly!

I have some questions, too:

- the leprechan: do you have to apply gold on Miffy's weapon too? (i.e. spend 2 gold every turn when you attack with both the hero and Miffy)

- the wizard: does he throw the fireball alternately at the hero and Miffy, or does he attack only the hero every turn?

-the magician: does his healing work the same way as attacks of other monsters, i.e. does he alternately heal the hero and Miffy?

And I have a Miffy question:

If Miffy dies in battle and is ressurected, are long lasting potions (damage, wep) used by her earlier still in effect or do we have to use new ones?

The Magician - Yes, any time you hit full health you die. Miffy is the same way but you can ressurect her.

The Alchemist - Just potions you use during the battle. not ones that last for awhile.

The Wizard - Fireball attacks the same person. Your puny defenses are nothing towards it's might! Fireball damage will come in second round of being on fire.

Leprechan - Yes, gold must be applied to each weapon individually

Wizard - Yes, he alternates based on who he is attacking.

Magician - Yes, Just replace attacks for heals.

Any outside of battle you can keep on (the ones that survive past an end of battle). Anything used in battle would wear off.

This all sounds wonderful, my depression has been dragging me down though and I haven’t had the energy to even update my weekly attacks :/ I’m glad this’ll stick around past Halloween!!!

Aww. I hope you get out of it soon. Depression is no fun at all.

I'm working on thinking up some sort of thing for Thanksgiving too but with quests instead of monsters but the idea is not fully formed yet.

Not that I'm complaining, but Miffy is getting ridiculously over-powered. She's leveling up twice each monster I kill now, and currently has 54+hat attack. And 54 HP. And full heals each time...

I fear what Kelly's got in store for the Big Bad ...

Oh crap! I thought she stopped at 24 HP and 24 attack! Darn, I need to go back and fit all her battles if this is true.

Lol. I'll have to play with Miffy some :P

Rebecca, Kelly already answered that question. Cathy asked 3 days ago. It's just seceral posts ago.

Ay sorry I thought I had read all the posts, but somehow missed this. I'm gonna delete mine to prevent confusion.

Does anyone have a strategy for the Sorcerer? Right now it looks like it will take almost 50 potions (heal and shield) for me to defeat him and I'm just not sure it's worth it.

50 potions is an awful lot. :(
What is good is that the AP is halved without any modifiers. It means basicaly the level of weapon/2 + all and every bonus, animal attack, potion, apparel intact. The strategy would be to maximize the second part of attack power. I would say that it would be useful to throw some nuts at him and maybe an arrow, too. Right now I don't see the immediate need to kill him but it might change depending on how much we'll need the bounce potion to move forward.

Yeah I don't think I need to attack him right now.

I plan to use all the modifiers possible, which amounts to 18 +1 each round (2 bonus, PPP +2 horse, +2 puppy +3 wep, +3 damage +3 orb, +1 bauble).

With a monster at 500 that's going to take a lot of rounds, which means 1 shield potion and 1 type of heal potion each time the hero gets attacked. It will be roughly 20 rounds.

I am going to reallllllyyyy need that potion OR the yellow stone to tackle that one.

If you "run away" during a battle, can the cat attack again first when you go back in? And does your bauble enhancement drop back down to +1 when you re-engage? And, can your rock/orb of water heal you by 2 points when you flee?

Rebecca, you might have forgotten to list something, I can't get to 18+B. And yeah, it would be a costly battle.

Jenny, as far as I know running away was possible only in Eisdrake battles.

Sorry I mean + 1 for the next rounds with the bauble.

I have some questions and if Kelly is generous it might lower the cost of This battle.

Miffy LVL 0 has 10 AP. The same as the hero with weapon LVL 0 has 2 AP. Does it mean that those 10 AP as Miffy counts the same as Hero's +2 weapon bonus? ( i.e. we won't need to halve it)

Also, when I continuously halve AP, there comes a point when I go under 1 AP ( 0.5, 0.25, ...), do I round it up to 1? It would mean that my AP can't get bellow 1.

I am sure there's something missing, because modifiers: 2+2+2+3+3+3+bauble= 15+ bauble. Plus the reduced base ap calculated for every round.

Rebecca what lvl of attack has you puppy? 1 or 2 ( there might be 2 missing APs, but it would mean total of 17+ bauble). Do you have a hat?

I just calculated that if we kill all the available Miffy monsters before attacking the Sorcerer, Miffy should have 58 AP + hat + shield. Not bad.

It would be a good idea to equip our kitty with the stun collar and stun the sorcerer in the first round so we can sneak 1 full power attack in the battle.

Yes I got 58 AP for Miffy then too, which is awesome. (also totally forgot about the hat....whoops)

Sorry before I had a typo, I have a lvl 2 puppy, so that would be +4. So it's 17 attack + bauble. (this is why I do all my calculations in excel).
So thats +18, +19, +20, etc for each round. With a lvl 11 sword, I quickly get to just 1 and rely on the add ons.

I might have to get a cat just so I can use the stun collar.

PS we are on page 173 of this thread hahaha wow

Yeah, getting a kitty is finally a good idea. :)
