Nightmare + another Craft Enemy

By Dam the Man, in Talisman

Okay, just want to clarify that this combo works. Should also work if you have the Doppleganger promo + another Strength Enemy.

Situation: Prophecy was in effect (but could just be a regular draw 2 space or you have Fiend Slayer). Sorceress moved to Sentinel, drew Nightmare + Shadow. Both have the number 3 on them, so they fight as a team, right? Nightmare = character's Craft (with all bonuses), then you get Shadow Craft 2 (IIRC, but doesn't matter), so the char is always at a minimum 2 disadvantage. Nightmare + Wraith (Craft 5) = stand-off at best (not counting Priest, Cross and Evading Spells), while Nightmare + Lesser Demon is unbeatable, ditto for Nightmare + Demon.

Nasty combo, but by the rules?

I can't remember now: does the Nightmare change Craft according to the Character that lands on the space or does it stay the same? I believe it's the first one.

Looks like you need the Cross or a Destruction Spell, to cast either on the Nightmare or his Spirit sidekick. By the rules, you can't win and that's it.

What about Nightmare + The Gathering (the card that calls all Spirits on the same space)? gran_risa.gif

Wow, so it's impossible to defeat both monsters .

So If nightmare rolls a 1 and there is a spirit of craft 5 = 6 so impossible to beat and a stand off?

If nightmare rolls higher and there is also a craft 4 enemie or higher than it is impossible to beat. What the hell sorpresa.gif

If the gathering comes, then that place would be a total chaos !! partido_risa.gif

Evade that place at all cost !! gran_risa.gif

And what happens when ghoul animate dopplelanger...what strenght he add's?

Arfi:

I think it is not possible because the doppelganger goes to the discard pile after the battle. It wil not become a trophy, so the ghoul cannot reanimate the doppelganger, but i am not sure...

I think that these rules are not clarified yet?

At this moment i play with the rule what Dam said gran_risa.gif

Ths would be easy for the philopher if he land on it a second time gran_risa.gif
