toadify question and more

By air show, in Talisman Rules Questions

hi guys,

during our last game we drew for the first time "toadify" spell, and we've read that you can cast it against a creature : now, the term "creature" means a strenght enemy or every kind of enemy? because if you roll from 4 to 6 its strength is reduced to 1, but no mention about the craft value (i thought that also craft is reduced to 1, but probably i was wrong).

the second question is very silly, but at the moment i have no answer: the ghoul charachter could take as follower EVERY kind of defeated enemy (both strength or craft value) adding the specific value in combat/psychic combat or only on strength enemy? I've got the italian version and it says "when you kill an enemy, you could resurrect it and take it as a follower instead as a trophy. you can add the strength of one of your follower in a single combat, then you must discard the follower.

no mention about psychic combat, but isn't strange?a ghoul should master spirits, not monster or animals...in my opinion, of course...

thanks!!

Creature is anything that attacks via Str or Craft (p. 10). However, Toadify can only be cast in battle (Str combat), thus no mention of Craft in the Spell.

As with Toadify, Ghoul's ability works when he defeats an Enemy in battle (so Str combat again).

Not sure if you're familiar with Ghouls as such (from RPGs or what not), but I wouldn't call them mastering spirits. They are about eating the dead, in this case the Ghoul makes another Ghoul out of the Enemy he killed by raising him from the dead.

...you're right, i haven't use my brain this time ^_^

thank you very much Dam!!
