However, as I see it a cleric can draw ONE card (the top most one) while kicking down the door, but they must discard a DOOR card (not a treasure card) if they do. True? Also, does it matter if the DOOR card is in play, or in hand?

False. Kicking Open the Door is a face-up draw, so the Cleric can Resurrect when drawing that card, but they can discard any card they wish from their hand to do so. It does not need to be a Door card. It must be from their hand (as the Resurrect text says so.)

If true, exactly what DOOR cards can they actually resurrect? Any? Including curses (although why would you!), or any other NON-monster card?
|
They will resurrect the card which is on top of the Door discard pile. Whichever one is there. They treat it as the Door they kicked open, so if it is a Curse, it hits them, if it is a monster, they fight it and if it is anything else, it goes into their hand.

Next, when it comes to drawing treasure cards face up (which I understand is only when the cleric gets help, or helps another munchkin during combat), can they check the treasure discard pile before using their ability?
|
It is not when the Cleric helps another player in combat. The combat owner is the one that draws all the Treasure in a combat. But yes, when the Cleric has a helper, they can do this. The Cleric cannot look through the discards before using Resurrection and they must declare how many cards they will resurrect before they start to Resurrect cards. For example, if the Cleric was going to draw 5 cards, he could declare he was resurrecting two of them. He then draws the top two cards of the Treasure discard deck, three cards from the Treasure deck and discards two cards from his hand (not any of the ones just drawn).

Thus, if they have 3 treasure cards (in hand) and they want to use their resurrect ability, are they allowed to SEE what is in the treasure discard pile before attempting it?
|
No. They can only see the top card of the discards. Any cards that went into the discards were public knowledge, so they need to remember the order if it is important.

Also, must they declare before hand that they intend to discard XX number of treasure cards before actually doing it. In other words, do they need to say how many they want to pull, before they can take any treasure?
|
Yes. Although they can discard any type of card from their hand, it doesn't have to be Treasure cards.
