Thanks!

I'm sure this will come in handy when I get around to playing this game. I did buy the complete edition thingie on that recent sale!

[Pumpkin Head Cthulhu]

no problem, also a heads up if you get all the Permaherbs you can max out every stat (100) in 1 run if you use the points correctly. Plus recently playing the enhanced edition i think i found more permaherbs i need to recheck though and compare so don't quote me on that.
