Re: Looting a Hireling that's using an Item
 

My responses are even less official than yours (probably a good thing), but I'd concur with that. What about a treasure Hireling from the Fantasy core set?

I'd have to say the same thing happens with Hireling from Munchkin and Munchkin 3. The Boomdagger goes with Hireling, as per the text on Hireling and would return, but would need to be turned sideways after Hireling was stolen.

Of course, this hinges on the same logic that my first one does, so it's not certain yet.

I was reading an older post and doesn't that conflict with what Munchkinman was saying when answering question 1 in this post? http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread...ht=epic+junior

Yes, it does. The ruling has changed since that post.
