Default Bard in combat question

If a Bard is helped in combat by another player and the duo defeats the monster, does the Bard draw all treasures face up before deciding which one to discard?

Sorry if this has been answered before, I couldn't find the post if it was...

Thanks!

Whenever treasure is drawn in group combat, it's drawn face up.

Anything that modifies the number drawn, the extra cards are drawn the same way as the main draw. In this case, face up.

Follow up question: If the helper in the combat was promised first pick of the treasure, can that player influence which one gets discarded by the Bard?

Thanks!

I wouldn't allow it. The Bard is the main combatant, he has to fulfill his ability, then, the helper gets to choose his card.

It's always been rule as long as I've been playing Munchkin... Which is about four years now.

To be clear, by "group combat," he means when the main fighter has a helper. And it has ALWAYS been the rule.

It's definitely in the 16th printing rules under the "treasure" heading. If you are alone, draw face down, if helped, draw face up.

It's also in the first printing, as Andrew has already stated.
