Becoming a Cultist and Munchkin Cthulu
OK, so in Munchkin Cthulu, I know that if you draw or are given (as charity) a Cultist card, then you have to play it and become a Cultist. I understand that Cultist cards get their own discard pile.
Now, some cards make you a Cultist, such as meeting H.P. Munchcraft. What if there are no Cultist cards in the discards? Do you wait until a Cultist card is discarded and then automatically take it and replace your class with it? Do you replace your current class with an imaginary "Cultist Card" and so are a Cultist - just without the card - until a Cultist card is discarded? Or do you just avoid becoming a Cultist at all since there are no Cultist cards available? |

The only time you are required to become a Cultist is when a card says you are. And if there are no Cultist cards in the discards when that card says so, you STILL don't become a Cultist.

In his defense, he'd never played Cthulu before either, so we were all new (even though it was his game). One follow up question: If I have the Cult Membership Card (but am not a "real" Cultist) and a card tells me to become a Cultist and there IS a Cultist card already in the discards, can I just say, "I'm already a Cultist, so that doesn't apply," and so escape? |

Clipper's interpretation is correct.

Re: Becoming a Cultist and Munchkin Cthulu
Something along the same tack that came up at one of our games:
If there is a Cultist card in the (Cultist) discard pile, and somebody wants to become a Cultist "just because", can they do so? (I ruled no, but the guy whined about it pretty bad.) |

Re: Becoming a Cultist and Munchkin Cthulu
I'm assuming he's trying to become one by playing a card that says to become one? If yes, then you were correct. If he had a Cultist card in his hand then he could have played it and became a Cultist.

Re: Becoming a Cultist and Munchkin Cthulu
Yeah, you can't just take a Cultist card out of the discards to become one without a card that tells you to become a Cultist.
