Re: Too many Big items - must get rid of one
Do you "stop being a Dwarf" immediately upon being cursed, or after you've figured out what your new race is? Supposing your "new" race is Dwarf, are you allowed to keep your extra Big items or did you already dispose of them?

Re: Too many Big items - must get rid of one
I would hold that you don't lose your current race until a new one has been identified or you've determined that there isn't another one you can use. Assuming, of course, that you're referring to a curse that makes you lose your race and go through the discards to find a new one. In this scenario, you would not lose your second big item if you became a dwarf again as a result of the curse.
Now then, in the case where you just lose your race (due to curse, bad stuff, whatever) and wanted to play a new one afterwards (or potentially the same one again), I would hold that since losing your race and getting the new one are the result of separate actions that you would have to complete everything associated with losing the first race before you could apply the second. In this scenario, you would lose your second big item even if you once again became a dwarf. |

Re: Too many Big items - must get rid of one
I was working on a reply, and I have no clue where it went, since it clearly didn't go here. Anyway, it's a pretty straightforward formula:
So, in the case of Curse! Change Race, wait 'til you know what your new Race is before you start giving away your stuff. In the case of Curse! Lose Your Race, you would have to get rid of your stuff. Unless someone can show me where I was once more generous on this issue and had a good reason why. . . Last edited by MunchkinMan; 03-29-2011 at 04:10 AM. |

Re: Too many Big items - must get rid of one
I would be slightly more generous: if you're forced to lose your Dwarf race and you can replace it IMMEDIATELY, then the momentary glitch would not trigger the Big item discard rule. (I'd say the same thing if you had a Cheat! card that was looking for a home.)
And because I know this is going to come up, my ruling on this seems to contradict my ruling on Half-Breed/Super Munchkin, but the text on those cards clearly says to discard them if something makes you lose all your Races or Classes. (Or perhaps it's on the Curses in question; I'm away from my set and my database.) In this case, there's no grace period where you get a chance to make the situation legal again.
