231,271 PointsAn error occurred in a different module.
This message is telling you that your monsters.py module called a random function but gave it no range to be able to pick a number from.
On one of your last lines above, you have this:
class Dragon(Monster): max_hit_points = 8 min_hit_points = 9 ...
You might need to pick values to insure that the maximum is not smaller than the minimum.
