Very puzzling question

[Faith]

I have a question about doppleganger.

If your fighting a battle and have doppleganger on and someone steals a hat from you does your doppleganger lose strength with you?

I believe yes because on the card it says that the doppleganger is your exact duplicate.

(Or cursed that hat off which is what I did in the game.)

If you lose strength during the battle, so does the doppelgänger. That said, you cannot steal from somebody who is in combat, so you would have to make them lose the headgear some other way, like a Curse.

is that official? I'm asking because I'd argue "Doppleganger" copies the player in that moment when it's played. If the player(s) loses or gains combat strength afterwards it counts towards or against the combined combat strength.

It's official because otherwise it takes obnoxious bookkeeping to remember what the Dopp's strength was. Easier just to compute yours at any time and double it.

thanks for clarifying!
