Yes, that is what the LHA is supposed to do.

Re: How much stuff can a hireling carry?
Alright awesome thank you very much for clearing that up me.
So if the card states it can "carry and use" means you can basically add that to your 2 hands already. |

The Loud Hairy Alien specifically states that it gives you 4 more Hands, which means you can only have it carry and use 4 Hands worth of Items for you. |

Re: How much stuff can a hireling carry?
I see that clears up alot. I used to play this correct way. But it seemed overpowered so the people i play with agreed not to use the hirelings like that. Then we bought Star Munckin and ran into the loud hairy alien and things changed again. Thanks for clearing up all the confusion =]

Re: How much stuff can a hireling carry?
Another question regarding the Loud Hairy Alien Sidekick and his items - I know when you sacrifice him and he has items on him that items are destroyed but what happens when he's carrying items for you and he's stolen by another player with a card like 'better offer'? Does the items stay with that player or go with the sidekick?

If your Hireling (in this case, Sidekick) is taken away by a Trap/Curse, by Bad Stuff, or by a change in loyalty, the items go with him!

Re: How much stuff can a hireling carry?
Hello,
We had the idea of mixing Star munchkin with the main Munchkin, no expansions. At some a point a ' Help me out here' was played and a 'Big rock' (2hands/big) was taken by the turn player who was now winning the monster. However she had both hands full prior to 'HMOH', a sidekick 'loud hairy alien' and no big item . I would like to ask can the 'loud hairy alien' carry and use an only-hands but big item like 'Big rock'? Even if that sidekick can carry and use a hand(s)/big item is it legal to play at this point the 'HMOH' since you can't rearrange your carrying-using items during combat and this is mainly what she did, giving 'Big rock' to the sidekick. Was i robbed of a glorious victory? |

Re: How much stuff can a hireling carry?
I don't see anything about that sequence of play that is illegal. HMOH says you must be able to use the Item you take; I would say that giving it to a hireling counts as "use" in this context, because you're getting the benefit from it.
Warning to posters: most of this thread dates from before the 2010 rule revisions, so earlier rulings may no longer be valid.

Re: How much stuff can a hireling carry?
Hmm ok about the 'HMOH'. Can the 'loud hairy alien' carry a hand(s) big item like 'Big rock'? The rules in star munchkin state that whatever the sidekick can carry must be stated in the sidekick card's context. Does this rule apply for the bigness of an item?
