Default Knight Mare

Am I missing something or is the Knight Mare just a level 22 monster pretty much?

No, as level and combat strength are different things, but her unaltered combat strength is at least 22:
  • Against only non-Centaurs, she's a Level 20 with a combat strength of 22.
  • Against only Centaurs, she's a Level 20 with a combat strength of 24.
  • Against a mix of Centaurs and non-Centaurs, she's a Level 20 with a combat strength of 26.

Gotcha. I guess I sort of meant this :)

What if you are a Half-Breed Centaur?

If you have Half-Breed and Centaur, and no other Race cards, Knight Mare would have a strength of 22 in that case, since it would be as though you did not have the Centaur Race.

I agree with Enzzo, unless the Half-Centaur is fighting alongside a full Centaur. In that case, it is an advantage to be a Centaur to keep the Knight Mare at 24 rather than 26.

what if half-Dwarf/half-Elf is fighting her? She gets +2 against both Dwarves and Elves, so will she get +4 in this case? and what if half-Gnome/half-Halfling helps him? because FAQ says,

Q. Do combat bonuses that monsters receive against Races or Classes stack? For example, if a monster gets +4 against Dwarves and +4 against Elves and I'm a half-Dwarf/half-Elf, does that monster get +8 in combat against me?
A. Unless it says otherwise on the card itself, monster combat bonuses do stack. This means that the above monster would be a +8. (Fair warning: this is a change from previous discussions, but it IS the official ruling henceforth.)
but I'm not sure if it works for this particular case.

the other question: does she get +2 against Classes/Mojos/Accents etc. or against Races only?

There's a similar monster, The Kevinator from Munchkin: The Guild that has +5 against everyone. It has been ruled that that means a +5 total, not +5 per different type of Race or Class present. This makes it clear that the 'everyone else' of the Knight Mare will not discriminate between other classes. In other words, treat here second bonus as +2 against non-Centaurs. It would get a +2 against a Half-Dwarf-Elf, whether they have the Half-Gnome-Halfling Helper or not.

The definition above means this isn't important (and another good reason to treat it this way). It's a +2 against non-Centaurs, which would include people with no Race cards and any combination of other Stats, as they are Human.

Good catch. The thread about The Kevinator is here.

So, if you are Centaur-Gnome, does she get +6?

what if they have Centaur race? e.g., Centaur-Wizard? Does she get +6?

What does the card text say, "+2 against non-Centaurs" or "+2 against everyone else"? I don't have it in front of me.
