Default Re: Can someone finally officially clarify the Hireling and Cheat! cards?

The Cheat! card is already covered in Igor's response above, so I won't repeat it here.

Hireling cards vary in what they allow. The original Hireling, found in Munchkin, Munchkin 3, Munchkin Legends, and a few other sets, is like a Cheat!, but you can change the attached Item and the Hireling is vulnerable to the Kill the Hireling Go Up a Level card.

Some other Hirelings say "You can use any Item that is legal for <X> to use," where <X> is usually a Class or Race. In this case, you can use any Item that is not barred to <X> or allowed only to some other group that is not <X>. It functions like a Cheat! for that Item, but cannot lift the <X> restriction.

And if a Hireling doesn't mention carrying or using Items at all, then it can't.

I hope these posts were helpful. If not, please write back and explain what is still unclear.
