General monster question!!!
Hello,
I just purchased my first copy of munchkin and I'm currently waiting on it to come in... I have been doing my homework by reading the rules etc. but I have a question. When I kick down a door and the monster is a level 20 with and it has a bonus +5 to everyone (The kevinator from the guild booster pack) is he really a level 25? Or does it mean that whatever my level with my combat attributes drop 5? I am a newb so bare with me on this, the directions didn't really clarify the monsters ability affect unless I misread it somewhere. Any and all information will be useful. Also no one around me has even heard of munchkin so I'm introducing this to my magic playing bros cause I need some change and YES I did discover this game on Wil wheatons tabletop web series. Thanks |

Re: General monster question!!!
If the card tells you it's +5 to the Monster, add that to his combat strenght. If it is a penalty to you, the card will read something like "Elves have -2 against him". Of course, in this example, you can change "Elves" for any race or Class, Males, Females, any other thing.

Re: General monster question!!!
I am fairly new to the game my self but i would haveto agree with bonetm. It might more clear to say that there is a distinction between anything's level and its cimbat strength. You will come to see the reason for the distinction when you are playing and come across cards which reference the level of a player or monster.

The Level is 1 to 10, it's the goal of the game. The combat strenght is your Level + bonus. So a +5 in combat is usually a bonus, unless it says +5 to Level.

Re: General monster question!!!
To be even MORE clear, assume that any bonuses or penalties apply to combat strength, not to basic Level (which always takes a capital L when that's what we're referring to).
There should not be any more regular bonuses or penalties that apply to Level, but there are a VERY few cards that do change it -- Typographical Error, for instance.
