NOTE (from Julia): At the actual state of the game, there are no "at Midnight" effects on monsters that I'm aware of; Sam structured the answer so that we have a definitive fix to any possible "At Midnight" conundrum that may ever exist, from here to the end of days (darn, the end of days could be a Midnight effect too?)

Thank you. I'll print it and add it to the game box to have it handy.

You're welcome :) I'm happy Sam took time to settle this, it's quite an important point in the economy of the game :)
