Re: When to discard during combat

Additionally, I would like to ask which card would go on top, the monster that was discarded or the card that caused it to be discarded? I know that at the end of combat the order in which the slew of cards associated by that combat is determined by the player whose turn it is, but is that also true for cards that cause cards of the same type (treasure or door) to be discarded, regardless of combat? EDIT: Also I am looking forward to seeing Andrew Hackard on Geek and Sundry's Tabletop segment next week :D:D:D |

There's at least one moment in that game that I'm going to apologize for right now. You'll know it when you hear it.

Re: When to discard during combat
Yeah, that's how I was planning to treat this anyway. It's similar to how I've been treating my games already, I just was never sure until now whether to treat the pseudo-discards as being part of the discard pile or not.

Re: When to discard during combat
Yeah, I fell into that same trap many times when I first started reading and posting on these forums. It's why I started maintaining a personal database of all the text on the cards I have bought. It takes an hour or two per deck, but it makes it so much easier to attempt to answer questions, that the past investment is well worth it.

Would a Munchkin discarding cards to use a class ability such as Berserking or Backstab choose the order the cards are discarded, or would that still be the option of the Munchkin who kicked open the door? If a Reset Combat card is played that returns cards in play back to the original owners, would that include any cards discarded to fuel class abilities? |

With Backstabbing, the Thief will choose as he can only perform one Backstab at a time as per the wording of the ability. He performs the first Backstab, then he performs the next. With Berserking, the Warrior can choose to discard all his cards at once, or he can choose to do it in three separate actions. If he discards all three cards at once, then the turn player would decide the order as per the rule. If he decides to split up his usage of Berserking to three separate discards at +1 each, then the Warrior would be deciding the order. Quote:

Re: When to discard during combat
It depends on the wording of the card that resets the combat. If it specifies "all cards played return to their owners," then the discards stay discarded - discarding a card is not playing a card. But other wordings may lead to different answers, and I'm too tired to dig through the database right now to find all the possibilities.
