Re: Rules Clarification - Combat, Multiple Monsters, and Modifiers
Mate duplicates the monster, including any modifiers found on the monster card itself, and including any monster enhancers played on that specific monster (because that's what Mate says it does). One-shot bonuses are played to help the monster side, not a specific monster, and would not be duplicated by Mate. (Mate used to duplicate all bonuses, including one-shots, and trying to figure out which one-shot was played on which monster in a complex combat turned out to be more bookkeeping than fun.)
Doppleganger does duplicate one-shots played to help the munchkin. Because it may only be used when the munchkin is fighting alone, there's no bookkeeping confusion.
Thanks for writing in.
