Looting a Hireling that's using an Item
I got a single question.
When you have a hireling, and equipped it with items/enhancers, and the case would be if you die, and someone decides to loot your hireling. Would the items come along? So far, i havn't seen this scenario, but would be sweet to have settled Before it happens. I guess it would be written on the hireling/items/enhancers, if they are lost or looted??.. |

Looting a Hireling that's using an Item
Each player gets to loot one card from the corpse. All bonds between lootable cards are broken upon death.

Re: Looting a Hireling that's using an Item
i hope i dont say anything wrong, but i think i remember someone saying (in the forum) that the hireling does NOT die, just cause you die. If the hireling would die the card (bad stuff) needs to say this clearly. So i guess the answer is, nobody can loot your hireling (cause he just runs away?^^)

Re: Looting a Hireling that's using an Item
That's an incorrect guess, Az_Rael. Your Hireling doesn't die when you die, but all the cards you have in your hand and on the table at the time you die (except the protected ones like your current Race/Class/etc.) are applicable to be looted. These cards include your Hireling and any Item it was carrying for you, and they count as two separate cards for the purposes of looting, as Andrew pointed out above.

Re: Looting a Hireling that's using an Item
Oh, so you can loot the hireling itself (the card) and you can loot each item (and enhancer?) he had?
There is another hireling question we got last match: What happens if the hireling (thief hireling) equipped with this little Dagger for thiefs (comes back if it gets stolen or traded) changes his loyalty and comes to me duo to a cards effect? The "normal" items should come with him, but we where unsure about this dagger . . . we though the dagger goes with the Hireling, since it is equipped to him and not to you (so i dont "steal" the dagger, just the hireling^^) thx a lot and sorry for the misleading thought. |

Re: Looting a Hireling that's using an Item
I believe that the Boomdagger (the little dagger you mentioned) will not return to the original owner (much less the hireling), because when it was looted, it was "just a card". The person who looted you and took the Boomdagger would be putting that card into her hand (and playing it as a new and separate item from the one you had). An item card in the hand is not an Item, and does not have any of its item-ly attributes until it is played.

Re: Looting a Hireling that's using an Item
Well this case is covered at in the cardtext (i think . . .) but to make it clear:
I was asking what happens to the dagger if a hireling is carrying the dagger and i "steal" the hireling (the hireling changes his loyalty and accepts me as his new owner :D) |

Re: Looting a Hireling that's using an Item
This is by no means an official response, but I interpret that situation as follows:
The Thief Hireling says that the abilities of the Boomdagger count for you. Steal a Hireling (or similar card) takes your Thief Hireling away and the Hireling rules state that the Boomdagger goes with him. As the Boomdagger's ability counted for you when it was taken, it would count as being stolen and would come back to you on your next turn. However, if you are not a Thief, you would now need to turn the Boomdagger sideways as you cannot use it. If the Boomdagger is lost again before you find a way to use it, it would not come back to you (as it needs to be equipped for its powers to have any effect). |
