If the modifiers change monster stats, then Manuel was enough to let BatBrain adjust to them. (Without Manuel, the changes just made today should serve the same purpose.) Those modifiers are handled with grace.
If the modifiers do something else, like an elemental aura, electrified, ticking, ghostly or untouchable, then it is easily a death sentence to use WHAM.

I guess some of that data's also on the wiki.

last_monster().random_attributes
Returns: aggregate boolean [string]
The trick is that it only works with the last_monster() function. You can't just check the proxy field of a given monster.
Typo in the Ravioli line of BatFactors. I deleted it in my copy cause I was in too much of a hurry to fix it. Perhaps the benefits of letting everyone edit BatFactors are overstated or underutilized?

While waiting for r72, the self-fix is to do this:
Just search for bringuprear and put the else bit afterwards.
Code:
if (my_thrall() != $thrall[none] && (have_skill($skill[ravioli shurikens]) || have_skill($skill[cannelloni cannon]) || have_skill($skill[stringozzi serpent])))
fvars["bringuprear"] = 1 + to_int(have_skill($skill[bringing up the rear])); // functions as cap multiplier
else
fvars["bringuprear"] = 1;

Much obliged for the fix, it's done the trick for me and my complete lack of knowledge at code.

I just checked and discovered that set_monster() is called with a parameter of last_monster() so it should work fine to check m.random_attributes

r72 Brings us initial support for random monster attributes.
Still seem to be a fair number of unknowns (how much elemental damage is the "additional" damage? What percentage is "occasionally"?), but this will keep BatBrain from making obvious blunders. For now, I've treated unknown rates as being a fairly aggressive 80%, or 50% if it's a nerf.
Also wondering how many of these mafia will support in its functions. For example, some of the attributes adjust the monster's meat drop or add item drops. Are those handled in things like meat_drop() or item_drops_array()?
The support also has the usual disclaimer: it does not include support for calculating adjusted monster stats, so it's recommended that you either have Manuel or don't use BatBrain for this challenge path.
And one further note: The current support for "ticking" simply sets the maxround to 3. This is a hack (since the combat may extend beyond that if you stun the monster) but may hopefully prevent your being killed while I consider more accurate support.
Out of curiosity, has anyone ventured into Jick's skeleton tower during this path? I'm extremely curious to know how/if these modifiers stack.

I have a question. If I want to ensure that a monster doesn't block an action, how do I properly add BALLS around an equeued action. I know that the following code does not work, but how do I make it work...
At this moment, meat_drop() is modified by the random modifiers. Item drops are not yet supported.
I've heard that procedurally generated monsters don't get random modifiers.
Code:
enqueue("while hasskill Curse of Weaksauce");
enqueue(get_action($skill[Curse of Weaksauce]));
enqueue("endwhile");At this moment, meat_drop() is modified by the random modifiers. Item drops are not yet supported.
I've heard that procedurally generated monsters don't get random modifiers.
Veracity has been adding those. If there are any missing, they should be straightforward to add to mafia once they are pointed out and spaded.

@lost: Thanks, that will allow BatBrain to stay relevant for non-Manuel owners during this path.
@Bale: BatBrain is deliberately designed not to allow enqueueing actions with repeat conditions or other macro flow controls since they completely throw off its predictive abilities. By design, it allows you to submit such actions with repeat conditions but not to enqueue them (since the information after queueing would be essentially meaningless). So if you want to use BatBrain for this situation, your best option is the macro(skill,repeat) function, which will submit a macro (including any actions enqueued thus far) with the repeat conditions you specify. After that, you can continue to enqueue the rest of your actions with accurate information.
If you don't care about predictive accuracy (because you are far more powerful than the monster, for instance), then you could build your own custom action and specify your custom BALLS code as the id of the advevent, but that would not be using BatBrain as intended.

Seems to be 18-22% of max HP (rounded down) elemental damage for the auras, and 20% of max HP for electrified. Rates are for the most part unknown because no effort has been put forth into spading them (and there's really nothing to do but stasis a lot in Fernswarthy's basement).
That's incorrect. They do get modifiers, but the modifiers don't display as part of the name (the ocrs variable still gets set, though).

BatBrain needs:
If m.random_attributes["untouchable"] then the damage cap on physical and all elements is 5.
If m.random_attributes["unstoppable"] then the monster cannot be staggered or stunned.
I'm not sure how much physical damage resistance monsters have if m.random_attributes["ghostly"]. Can anyone fill in that information for me?
