Curses and FIFO
Greetings all -
I'm a relatively new player and suspect this question has probably been answered, but I haven't been able to find a clear answer in the rules or FAQ by myself. I recently played a game with some friends where we came upon the following situation: Player A loses in combat and rolls to flee. Failing the roll, Player A, currently a halfling, announces the use of the halfling racial ability to roll a second flee attempt. At this point, Player B announces the use of a curse that will remove Player A's race. If FIFO is strict and things happen in the order they're announced, then I'm inclined to say that Player A's racial ability goes off first. However, in trying to determine if this is the correct resolution, I found this in the FAQ: Quote:
I hope all of this makes sense. I appreciate any and all attempts to help me make sense of this. |

Re: Curses and FIFO
I'm ruling that the Run Away attempt must be completed before the Curse can take effect, and that includes using the Halfling ability to reroll the attempt, if the player chooses to do so.

Re: Curses and FIFO
Well...I was wrong in my thought. I've always took it as the rules state curses are immediate. :p

Timing isn't often an issue in Munchkin, but when it is, you resolve any actions already in progress before carrying on to the next.
