Malign Mirror
I have tried to find an answer for this on the FAQ and forums to no avail.
The text on Malign Mirror says that you may not get a bonus from items other than armour for your next combat. And an item such as Spiked Knees says '+1 Bonus' on the top, and I belive all of the equipable items (save kneepads of allure) follow the same formula. (as it stands right now I only have the base Munchkin game, althought that will change in a few hours) Items such as the freezing potion do not say 'bonus' anywhere. So, my question is does M-Mirror dissalow me from using items such as potions in the next combat? Because, due to what I am led to belive a 'freezing potion' is, even though the card says '+3 to either side' I belive it is not so much a bonus to me as a penalty to the other side. This then leads me to my next question, what if someone else throws the potion on the monster? What if someone else throws the potion on me? |

Re: Malign Mirror
A bonus is a bonus, a penalty is a penalty. Potions are bonuses that can be applied to a Monster or a munchkin, not penalties to the opposing side, and I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. Using that logic, all Items equipped would then be penalties against the other side and the Malign Mirror wouldn't have meaning.
With respect to the victim of the Malign Mirror, I have always allowed everyone, including the victim, to play potions for either side of the combat, though that might not seem in step with the text of the card now, but made more sense with the original text.

The mod was not what I had suggested when we were presented with a need to update the card so as to reduce confusion, so I feel that this new wording is too strict. I would have tacked on a bit about letting other players to continue to use one-shot combat cards for or against the munchkin, but not allowing the munchkin to use one-shot Items (but still use Monster Enhancers). |

Anyway, when this came up we decided to, at least for that game, house-rule that it does not apply to one-shot items, including potions, and it looks like I am not the only one who shares this view. |

I would give the text of the entire card, but I do not know if thats allowed, so for now I will play it safe, but I feel I can tell you that a) it is a curse card, and b) the card ends with 'A Wishing Ring will lift the curse.' |
