[edit] Arena Messages

• When entered in a game of Hide and Seek:

  <name> buzzes too loudly to stay hidden very well.

[edit] Notes

• The damage done in an attack, Z, ranges from 1 to weight/2.
• In the Muscle gain formula, Y is the number of Muscle substats you would normally have gained, while the bonus value X is between 1 and ceiling(weight/4).
• The bonus stat gain does not appear as a separate line, but is rolled into your normal stat gain information at the bottom of the combat.
• The bee does not feed you jelly every battle; this ability triggers only some of the time, and only at the end of combat. Activation seems to occur about 1/3 of the time.
• The bee also attacks in combat approximately 1/3 of the time, regardless of its weight.
