New Player Few Question.

[Azarul]

Hey guys my son received this game for Christmas and we have just gotten around to playing it. So far its a very fun and entertaining game. I do have a few questions about discarding cards for curses and class.

1. Does the discard on the class cards (warriors, wizard, etc) come from your carried items or your hand or either?

2. Same question with the Curse lose a small or big item card?

3. I assume the Truly Obnoxious Curse is for the carried cards only not in your hand?

4. Level 12 Tongue Demon, You must discard one item before combat. Same question carried or in hand or either.

5. Question about Curse! Income Tax. I understand it if I was to draw it when knocking down a door, but if I play it against someone does it work the same? Do they discard the initial item setting the value or me?

Thanks for any help,
Az
