Cleric's Doppleganger

[coldsun]

Hi!
I want to ask You to help us with rules little bit more.
Imagine situation when Cleric (let's assume that his strength is 20) faces Undead Monster and uses Doppleganger (his strength becomes 40). After that he discards one card to get bonus +3 versus Undead. Did he get +6 because of Doppleganger? Does his strength become 43 or 46?

Thank You very much in advance!

Whatever the Cleric's combat strength is without the Doppleganger is the same strength that the Doppleganger has. Any other answer leads to bookkeeping and timing questions.

In your example, the Cleric's strength is 23, so the Doppleganger adds another 23 for a total of 46.

Does this apply to modifiers played after Doppelganger is played? Or just before?

As far as I got - both.

The Doppleganger is an exact duplicate of your character. If your character changes, the Doppleganger changes to match it. If you have a combat strength of X, the Doppleganger also has a combat strength of X, for a total of 2X.

I'm not sure how to be clearer about this; if someone can tell me what is confusing them, I'll try to explain it a different way.

I did understand that, but it's always a good thing to be absolutely sure, :)

Thanks!

The situation described in the original question basically lead up to asking the same thing, with numbers, hence some confusion about why there was confusion.
