A Halfling/Dwaf Half-Breed searches the room...

TheMetal1 · 02-09-2012, 07:46 PM

Ok, so in my on going game of Munchkin Quest, my opponent is playing a Half-Breed (Dwarf and Halfling), and uses one of her movements to search a room. She rolls a 6 on the d10, but as a Halfling she gets +1 to search, meaning a 7. The 7 means she now has to draw a monster card and battle. We had a lively discussion about this as she felt that getting the +1 was optional for a halfling.

What say you?

The +1 is not optional, but you should roll a d6 to search, not a d10

Not only do the rules say so, they also say that whenever you're told to roll a die, you are supposed to roll a six-sided die unless the rule/card tells you to roll some other die. The reason the search table goes past 6 is because of roll bonuses and bonus dice (if you search or fight in a room that's good for you, you get a bonus die, or even dice). One could potentially roll many dice under the right circumstances for a single search.

Also, you should download the most up-to-date rules (available as a PDF on the Munchkin Quest website), which explicitly specifies six-sided dice for searching everywhere I could squeeze in an extra ten characters.

Thank you all for the replies. We ruled correctly than about the +1 not being optional.

As far as the d10 vs. d6, I had that spider sense in the back of my mind that there was something wrong with rolling the d10 for searching. I thought I had read something about it in the forums here, but I've been playing that way since I got the game so ignored it. But, thankfully,it's never to late to change, and our game is still going on.
