Thanks for the link! It was pretty enlightening,but since I am a foreigner some things are difficult for me to comprehend.
You said that the text on Hireling doesn't get overridden by the use of a set that includes other Hireling cards. What I understand from this is:
-The Hireling card from Munchkin 1 and 3 allows me to carry and use ANY item of ANY Class/Race. The card itself also gives a +1 bonus in combat plus the bonuses from the item it carries.
-The Hireling card from Munchkin 4 has slightly different abilities. For instance the Wizard Hireling can only carry and use wizard-only items.It can't carry for example a second big item or an item that needs a third hand,right? The card also gives a +2 bonus in combat plus the bonuses from the item it carries plus any other abilities the card says.
Am I right so far?
If i get cursed to lose my class do I lose the Wizard Hireling and the item it carries?

Thanks in advance!
