Floating Nose question
My wife won her 10th level off of a floating nose. My question is, could I have been the one to bribe it and make it go away so she didn't win by gaining 10th level? I would say yes, since that is the spirit of the game but the wording on the card says "YOU" and I'd take that to mean the person fighting it.

Re: Floating Nose question
That's not in the spirit of the game, to be honest, and only the person fighting against the Floating Nose (not even his helper) can make that decision. That doesn't mean the helper can't contribute, it just means that the helper can't make the decision.

So, the general ruling is that the item could come from either player involved in the combat, but not from a player not in the combat? [since that would count as a trade during combat] |

Re: Floating Nose question
After mulling it over, since the wording on the card is "you" I have to agree that only the person fighting it or maybe the helper, if they agree, can bribe it.
That's funny, the entire rules have an air about them that tells you to try and screw other players over. Under character creation it says, and I quote, "If you have any doubt about whether you should play a card, you could read below, or you could just charge ahead and do it." While I may have decided the card wording on the floating nose doesn't allow another besides the combatant to bribe it I heartily disagree that denying someone of their win is not in the spirit of the game when the rules tell you at every turn to do nasty things to the other players. There's a very thin case when trying to tell someone that the spirit of munckin ISN'T to backstab and harass the other players. |
