Considering these atacks only 'hit' 50% of the time, I think it's better to have the neck-chop.

But I suppose when fighting high-level/high HP opponents, it's better to cause more damage in 1 turn. What does everyone else think?

Actually it would be good if I could have both - and use the right one at the right time.

I had been thinking the same thing!

Which was possibly just as well as we both had about 320 HP at the start, and we both could do damage in the same sort of range ...

Look at the monster arena and look for the strongest monster with any battles. Right now it's the bomb, and he was one win and one loss. That loss: that was me. boo-yah!

After you've had a chance to heal we should go head to head.

I'm not- I'm level 15. It's a bug I just noticed as well. Everyone shows up level 2 in the Extended RPG Status right now. For a moment I was worried they were resetting the arena again.
