Re: How much stuff can a hireling carry?
Assuming you're talking about the standard Hireling from the original Munchkin set, he can carry one extra Big item for you, period.

Well, depending on which sets you're talking about, certain hirelings have certain restrictions and abilities that affect what they can and cannot carry, so the short answer is: read the card and it should tell you what the hireling can do.

Re: How much stuff can a hireling carry?
If a Hireling carries anything, it's one Item. It says as much on every Hireling card that can carry an Item. Hirelings only have the abilities written on the card above and beyond the basic rules. The only thing with respect to carrying Items in those rules is what happens when a Hireling carrying an Item goes away.

conserning numbers - hirelings can carry one item (if the card doesn't say otherwise)?

At any rate: In all of Munchkindom, I can find only two "Hirelings" that carry stuff, and they aren't part of the original Munchkin fantasy genre. Those two are the Loud Hairy Alien Sidekick from Star Munchkin and the Zombie Minion from Munchkin Bites. They also happen to be the only ones that carry (and use) more than one Item. |

Re: How much stuff can a hireling carry?
Let me rephrase the question
how many items can a hireling carry (the regular hireling, elf hireling ect)? can he carry all the same Items that the character would be able to carry (armor, steed ect). sorry for the confusion ... (and for the coming confusion :P) Last edited by jaholen; 05-15-2009 at 07:03 AM. |

Another example: The Hireling from Munchkin and Munchkin 3 carries an extra Big Item for you, but can't use it (with one exception being the Siege Engine). In other words, that Hireling does nothing more than allow you to have a second Big Item, but you still have to have the open "slots" available to use it. And, the final example: The Loud Hairy Alien Sidekick from Star Munchkin has 4 arms, which means it technically uses 4 Hands of Items for you. Yes, this means that the Items can only be Hand Items. The Loud Hairy Alien can not use Armor, Headgear, Footgear or any other Items that do not use Hands. Last edited by MunchkinMan; 05-15-2009 at 10:40 AM. |
