Can a Thief backstab a Doppelganger?

Yes, it does continue to double your bonus, so a Thief can Backstab once and make your combat strength drop by 4. The Thief cannot Backstab the clone separately to this.

If you were, say, a Dwarf and summoned your Doppelganger, and then was cursed with Lose Your Race, which made some of your gear unusable, does the Doppelganger stay as what it was when it was summoned, or does the curse and loss of items affect it too?
|
As it is a copy, your
Doppleganger also loses the bonus.

Can a Warrior Berserk and then play Doppelganger to get +6? If he Berserk-ed after playing Doppelganger, does/can he still get +6? Would it take 6 cards if it wasn't done prior to playing Doppelganger? (Ditto for the Cleric vs Undead Monsters)
|
It would take three cards and you would get +6 whether you used Berserking before or after
Doppleganger is played.

If you beat Pukuchu without using help or bonuses, you get an extra level, but does using a Doppelganger (and just doubling your Level) count as a helper?
|
It doesn't count as a helper, but it also doesn't double your Level. It gives you a bonus equal to your Level. So your base Level still needs to be higher than
Pukachu's combat strength to get the extra level.
Edit: Ah, beaten... still, at least we fully agree!
