35559 I have four more books to post - I'm sorry I'm getting these in so late. I didn't realize the deadline was today!!! And I'm sorry I haven't been able to make meals from my books - they seem to have such random ingredients this month. I'll do better in December.

35559 Rules

Leveling
You obtain levels when experience is achieved. You collect experience points by completing quests and killing monsters.
Leveling up heals your hero fully and increases the HP available by 2 per level.
Total experience needed - maximum health.
LVL 1 - 0 XP - max HP 10
LVL 2 - 5 XP - max HP 12
LVL 3 - 15 XP - max HP 14
LVL 4 - 30 XP - max HP 16
LVL 5 - 45 XP - max HP 18
LVL 6 - 90 XP - max HP 20
LVL 7 - 135 XP - max HP 22
LVL 8 - 225 XP - max HP 24
LVL 9 - 360 XP - max HP 26
LVL 10 - 585 XP - max HP 28
LVL 11 - 945 XP - max HP 30

LVL 12 - 1,530 XP - max HP 32
LVL 13 - 2,475 XP - max HP 34
LVL 14 - 4,005 XP - max HP 36
LVL 15 - 6,480 XP - max HP 38


Attack Power of Magic Staff / Sword = Level of the Weapon + 2 (a universal bonus)
You start your adventure with LVL 0 Weapons -> their Attack Power is 0 + 2 = 2 AP
After you upgrade the weapon to LVL 1 -> Attack power = 1 + 2 = 3 AP

Note: For purposes of advanced monsters the + 2 bonus to the level of your weapon should be considered a modifier and not part of the base attack. However, if something states that it is based off the attack as a whole then the level and all modifiers are considered.

To further upgrade your main weapons you can obtain the Growth Weapon Enhancement Bauble by completing Practice Makes Perfect Quest. The Bauble increases damage each turn in battle by 1 for a single weapon. (First Turn +1, Second Turn +2, Third Turn +3). When calculating values based on attack power of weapon, each round must be re-evaluated.

35559 Hi Halli,
I've been trying to get caught up with some other challenges, so I've been a bit slow to get started here. I'm going to set up my thread and read everything and then come up with my questions.

ROLE or PLAY are both fine, although the Y might be a bit trickier. Thanks so much for your help, and I'll make sure to get my welcome basket

35559 I would like to sign up as an apprentice. I've come back to look at this challenge multiple times since we played it in one of the team challenges - that was a lot of fun! But I end up getting overwhelmed/confused/intimitated when I try to read the rules. I'd love to have help to learn out it works.
