Hireling, using ANY item.
I've been thinking about hirelings. It says (on this Hireling card) it can use one extra itenm even if you could not otherwise.
Does this apply to items, lets say "Usable by Elf only"? Thanks in advance. |

Re: Hireling, using ANY item.
Yes. The Hireling is essentially a Cheat! card with legs. The differences are that you can swap out the Item that the Hireling is using, the Hireling can be killed (with the Kill the Hireling GUAL card), and you can ditch the Hireling to escape from a fight. In the latter two cases, you also lose the Item it is carrying, if any.

Re: Hireling, using ANY item.
The question was about the base Hireling from original Munchkin, so that's what I answered. Don't infer general rules from answers to specific questions.

This begs the question from me, though about something like the Three-Handed Sword (which requires 3 hands to wield). Could the generic Hireling use that, even though the assumption would be that he/she would have only two hands?
