Default Helping Others to Help Yourself

I have not played very many games of Munchkin, but I do have Munchkin Deluxe, Star Munchkin, The Good, the Bad, and the Munchkin, and Munchkin Fu, and in the games played it seems like the best ones are where one or more players benefit from helping others, such as the Elf in Munchkin and the Cavalry in The Good, the Bad, and the Munchkin 2, so I was wondering if there were any other races, classes, styles, powers, mojos, accents, loyalties, etc. in the other games where this sort of game mechanism is present.

Thanks in advance,

Dale

If you can find a set for a decent price, Munchkin Fairy Dust. It's a separate expansion that goes into any Munchkin deck. Basically, there are a set of super-powerful Fairy Dust cards. You get one every time you help someone in combat. It's out-of-print though, so finding it for a decent price might be a bit of a challenge.

Conversely, the Munchkinomicon set is similar to Fairy Dust, but rewards you for hindering your opponents (or yourself).

Thanks for the tip about Fairy Dust, as there is a copy for sale locally.

Unless you grab the new Barnes and Noble exclusive Munchkin Game Changers
which includes Fairy Dust and Munchkinomicon as well as 2 other boosters, new 19mm Fairy Dust Dice and the cards that came with the original FDD. Two new level counters and 4 more cards too.

I read through Munchkin Thingies and found that the Werewolf race from Munchkin Bites! also gets a benefit for helping, as does the Explorer class from Munchkin Booty, and the Yakuza from Munchkin Fu.

Any items or enhancers that anyone can remember?

Deleted some posts where people (including me) got wires crossed. My apologies for the confusion.
