Kill-O-Meter/Reversal of Fortune question
I just got my Kill-O-Meter in the mail today and I haven't gotten a chance to play with it yet, but as per usual, I started overthinking and I went through every possible situation in my head and ran through the following question: "What happens if my combat strength is over 100?" It would probably have to be an epic/blended/both game, but I've seen it happen before. Not often, but it has happened.
Since the directions use the phrase "read backwards", I assume something like 110 would become 101, since the Kill-O-Meter only has two digits and for the sake of simplicity, the leading 1 would be omited. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if it were to become 011, since the intent of the card is to reverse the entire combat strength, which cannot be displayed in this instance due to the limitations of the Munchkin Kill-O-Meter. Of course, someone having a combat strength of 901 is a dangerous idea, but could be easily taken down (several hundred) notches with just one card. I just wanted to get a ruling on this before it happened, since I'm relatively certain that it could come up. |

Re: Kill-O-Meter/Reversal of Fortune question
I'm going to have to let Andrew answer this one, since he a) may already have a clue into the design process, or b) can get to the designer(s) faster than I can. I am actually split 50/50 on this one, but in a terrible, terrible pinch, I'd go with 011. Let's see if I'm right. :-)
Of course, here in the U.S., it's a holiday weekend, so I can't say if Andrew will see this before Tuesday morning or not, so please be patient. |

Re: Kill-O-Meter/Reversal of Fortune question
I know I don't have a say, but I kind of like what Erik went with.
I think if you have a 110, it should be 011. Seems logical. |

Sorry that I overlooked this. If your combat strength has more than three digits, reverse that number (whatever it is).
