Default Re: Doppleganger

Hi, Mathyoo. I'm splitting your LONG post into several shorter ones, with more detailed subject lines, to make it easier for other people to find the answers to your questions.

The Doppleganger is an exact duplicate of the munchkin who plays it. Find that munchkin's combat strength, including all its bonuses, and then double it (because the Doppleganger is identical). If the munchkin's total strength changes, the Doppleganger changes to match it - so you just double the new strength instead.

Doing it the way you suggest would require you to remember which bonuses were active when the Doppleganger was played and which were not, and that's too much thinking for our silly game.

You didn't ask this, but it comes up a lot: if you are using a Doppleganger and are forced to get help from another munchkin, the Doppleganger no longer has any bonus (it only works when you are fighting alone).
