Something is screwy.
def monsAttk (damage, attack,playHp): # function expects 3 arguments
monsAttk(4, 15) # passes 2 arguments

That should raise TypeError: monsAttk() takes exactly 3 argument (2 given)
So something else is awry.
BTW the fact that you assigned playHp = 20 has no effect in the 
function. You redefined playHp as a local variable in the def statement.
