I am adding the random part to the weapons[currentWeapon].power value, but it not working…

function attack() {
  text.innerText = "The " + monsters[fighting].name + " attacks.";
  text.innerText += " You attack it with your " + weapons[currentWeapon].name + ".";
  health -= monsters[fighting].level;
  monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeapon].power 
  weapons[currentWeapon].power += (Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1)
}

The final power value is the one that is used to subtract from monsterHealth so it must be calculated before the subtraction.

health -= fixedValue + randomValue

Also, it looks like there might be a regex that won’t allow for the extra parentheses you have around your Math functions.

weapons[currentWeapon].power += Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1;
monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeapon].power;

This is the new code, following your suggestion, still won’t work

do not change the power of the weapon, you need to substract two things from monsterHealth

Continue with Previous line:
monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeapon].power + Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1;
