Resolving Berserk Question

[kazinsky]

Greetings,

Can this happen as a Warrior?

1. Battle a creature that has +1 advantage over me.
2. I respond by Berserking and discarding just 1 card for a +1 bonus.
3. An opponent gives a +2 bonus to the creature I was battling.
4. I respond and discard 2 more cards to max out my Berserking ability of +3.
5. Win fight

I ask because the Berserk ability just says "you may discard up to 3 cards in combat."

What is considered "combat" in relation to time?

Can I treat the berserk ability like a creature ability in MtG, and just add it to the stack of effects?

You may discard up to 3 cards during a combat. There's no restriction or requirement to discard them all at once, so you could keep adding +1 until you've hit the limit. There is no stack. Don't try to apply the stack concept from MtG because that game has its own rules, Munchkin has its own rules, and Munchkin's rules don't support stack timing, but instead define instantaneous timing.

Awesome, thank you!
