The Monk using a Warhorse

By jackyboy, in Talisman Rules Questions

Hello

Sorry if this is a stupid question but it occurred last night and it stumped me. A friend was playing with the Monk and got himself a Warhorse. His argument was that he added his base Craft twice. Once for his special ability, then once again for the Warhorse. I really couldn't answer him as to whether he could or could not add his base craft twice. Thankfully he soon lost the Warhorse... and his life!!! :lol:

Sooo, please could someone answer this question for me

Many thanks

He adds his craft value twice.

Trice of he for some reason would acquire an additional warpony.

Note however that craft value is only the value printed on the character sheet, not his whole craft, ie including cones+items+followers.

Now tell me this..

What would he have in battle if he had two red cones, three blue cones, two warponys and cast the spell Brainwave trice :D

(no additional items or followers)

And I am quite certain I read on here somewhere awhile back, that Warhorses stack! Have 2 and get twice the benefit! Three if your a Monk!!!

No one is answering the question :)

Nioreh:

Battle Strength = Strength + Inner Belief + Warhorse + Warhorse

= Strength + Craft value + Craft value + Craft value

= Strength + 3(Craft value)

*Cast Brainwave*

= Strength + 3(2(Craft value))

*Cast Brainwave*

= Strength + 3(2(2(Craft value)))

= Strength + 12(Craft value)

= Strength value + Strength points + 12(Craft value)

= 2 + 2 + 12(3)

= 40

I think!

love leprechaun with 4 warhorses and full-platemail with a flail had that once only had min craft and got the demon lord ending... Doh!!

Nioreh:

Battle Strength = Strength + Inner Belief + Warhorse + Warhorse

I think!

What planet are you on? lol

Earth.

Obviously.

He is also correct.

Almost.. I said Brainwave trice, not twice.

Casting it trice would yield 76*

*Monk Craft value = 3

Casting Brainwave trice gives a new craft value:

3*2³= 3*2*2*2=24

Two warhorses and Inner belief would add (to battle)

24*3=72

And with his strength value and two cones..

72+2+2=76

This is the most effective way I've come to think of that would give exceptionally high values.

The closest I've come is Brainwave twice with the Warlock before fighting the Lord of Darkness -> Ice Queen ending.

Quick game..
