Default Half-Breed/Super-Munchkin question

I have two questions regarding these cards.

1) If I have an Race or Class card in play and then play Half-Breed/Super Munchkin to become a "super" whatever can I in the future add a second race to become two Races with all disadvantages or vice versa...dual Race to a super Race...on the fly. We suspect the answer is yes.

2) Can I play a Half-Breed or Super Munchkin card if I don't have any other Race or Class cards? Normally I'd say no but there is the possibility of being a "super" Human. There is no corresponding benefit for a "super" no Class.

3) Is it just me or have I typed Race so many times that the words no longer looks like it is spelled correctly?

Yes you can. You can play Race and Class cards at any time on your turn and you can discard them at any time on any turn. They aren't attached to the Half-Breed or Super Munchkin card. Note that if you ever have zero Races or Classes in play (except when immediately switching between them), then you must discard the Half-Breed or Super Munchkin card.

No. The cards say they would be discarded if you have no Race cards or Class cards. You thus cannot put the cards into play when you have no cards of the respective type (even if you just wanted to discard them).

That's what we finally decided but someone argued that the card actually says to discard if you lost your race(s)/class(es). By not having any initially there was no losing. We ruled that a stretch but there was enough logic in the argument that I had to ask.

The card also says "Play when you have a Race/Class CARD", so the logic is there.

Can a half-breed or super-munchkin card, or a race or class card be discarded during battle to utilize a Warrior +1 in battle? Can you choose to discard them in battle at all if not for the bonus?

The berserking description only says to discard cards in general with no source or type mentioned so I would say yes.

You can discard them normally without using any abilities at any time, including during combat. They would also qualify to power the Berserking bonus if you discard them for that instead. Note that your setup must remain legal, so if you are a Super Warrior-Cleric, you cannot discard the Super Munchkin without also discarding the Cleric card.

The only cards in play or in your hand that you can't discard with Berserking are the Warrior card you have in play and any card that says you can't discard it.

The only cards in play or in your hand that you can't discard with Berserking are the Warrior card you have in play and any card that says you can't discard it.

So let's say someone plays the card that gives +10 to monsters against my half-breed (the name escapes me, I remember it has a demon at a pulpit on it). Can I discard my half-breed card to power up the Berserking and then have the +10 be rendered useless against me? Or does it apply regardless of what I do after he plays it? And is that card copied if the monster is mated?

If you are no longer a half-breed, then you'd be right, the Narrow-Minded bonus would no longer apply :)

This question has been asked before, but it hasn't yet received an official response. I would think Narrow-Minded would be copied by Mate, since Narrow-Minded is a monster enhancer. However, it has been ruled that Narrow-Minded is not a monster enhancer for some purposes, so I am not sure.
