Can players offering help sabotage the combat?
If one player agrees to help another player fight a monster, can they then do something to aid the monster, for example, use a +3 potion for either side and choose to help the monster? IMO that's not allowed but the issue came up in a recent game.
And what if the player has been enthralled by another player who's a Bard? Would they be allowed to play a modifier to aid the monster when they're supposed to be helping the Bard? |

Helpers can ALWAYS try to sabotage the combat.

You could curse yourself or the person that made you help, though. Or use enhancers or one-shots to help the monsters. But your level and any equipment you are using WILL count on the Munchkin side, whether you WANT to help or not. |

Re: Can players offering help sabotage the combat?
Mister Ed is correct. You must provide your combat strength at the time you joined the combat, if you help willingly or are compelled. If you want to force the combat to be a loss, you have to find legal ways to reduce your combat strength, that of your "partner," or increase the Monster side combat strength.

Re: Can players offering help sabotage the combat?
Thanks everyone for the clarification. It certainly adds a devious twist to the game play.
