The Brainy Oboe and Brawny Tuba Challenges

[Naipseht]

The Brainy Oboe Challenge:

[*]You can only play as Wickerbottom.

[*]You can only eat a maximum of two meat items per day. You can eat as many non-meat items as you wish.

[*]You can only build a Science Machine before Day 8. If you wish, you can make an Alchemy Engine as well. If you do not, the challenge is over.

[*]You can only kill a maximum of eight monsters per day. This does not apply to Crawling Horrors and Terrorbeaks.

[*]You can not build any Walls.

[*]You can not build any Combat items, including Dark Sword and Night Armor.

The Brawny Tuba Challenge:

[*]You can only play as Wolfgang.

[*]You can only eat a maximum of eight non-meat items per day. You can only eat a maximum of two non-meat Crock Pot items per day. You can eat as many meat items as you wish.

[*]You can only build a Science Machine, not an Alchemy Engine, and only after Day 8 begins.

[*]You can only prototype a maximum of two inventions per in-game day.

[*]You can only build a maximum of four chests.

[*]You can not build any Magic items.

It is recommended that you play these challenges on Sandbox Mode. You may progress from world to world as you wish, but the same rules apply.

The inspiration behind the names of these challenges is the obvious relative intellect levels of each character and the instruments used to represent their voices.

This brings up the eternal question: Brains over Brawn, or Brawn over Brains? I would choose Brains, as human intellect, already the highest of any other creature, is our greatest asset, far more than Brawn, which other animals have in abundance.

Does the logsuit count as a combat item? In Australia, body armor is counted as a weapon.I bet Brawn wins because with vegetables you can simply put them in a crock pot. The start will be much more difficult but later game it will be easier for Brawn.

You appear to have misread the terms of food you can eat. I meant to impose a restriction on Wickerbottom eating meat and a restriction on Wolfgang eating non-meat. Given how the Logsuit is listed under the Combat tab, it is not an item you may use as Wickerbottom.

Are we allowed to use tentacle spikes?

[Naipseht]

Given how Tentacle Spikes are not craftable weapons and are, rather, monster drops, they are eligible for use.
