Denizen of the Dark.

Does the AL of a creature with this ability get doubled for the purpose of calculating damage?

I don't believe so. Here is the text from the LB
While the creature is in the dark (at night, underground,
or in a dense forest) its Attribute level is doubled as far
as all rolls are concerned (attack and Protection tests
included).
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

Yeah, saw that just before I posted. I just wanted to make sure I had read it correctly. Thanks.

Thanks for bringing this up. In following this thread I realize I have been playing this wrong.

From Preview 8 "Finally, we’ve brought the rules for how an adversary applies damage in line with heroes, so they now apply an attribute as a damage bonus on a great success, or twice on an extraordinary success."

So it seems that currently you don't apply the attribute bonus once per extra level of success (although I don't read the current rules that way). However that still leaves the matter of doubled AL and applying that to the damage. Hopefully the new/revised rules will clear that up.

I wonder if they lowered the attributes, or if all enemies suddenly became a lot deadlier.
