You're using a global variable (playHP) in a function, but you haven't told the function that playHP is supposed to be a global variable.<div>You're going to want to change your function definition to:</div><div>
<br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><span class="kw1" style="color: rgb(255, 119, 0); font-weight: bold; ">def</span> monsAttk <span class="br0" style="color: rgb(102, 204, 102); ">(</span>damage, attack<span class="br0" style="color: rgb(102, 204, 102); ">)</span>: <span class="co1" style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128); font-style: italic; ">#A monsters attack </span></span></div>

Something is screwy.<br>def monsAttk (damage, attack,playHp): # function expects 3 arguments<br>monsAttk(4, 15) # passes 2 arguments<br><br>That should raise TypeError: monsAttk() takes exactly 3 argument (2 given)<br>So something else is awry.</blockquote>

The pastebin code is different.</span></font></div>
