Enhances and non-slot items
 
Hello!

We are confused by such items like "Kneepads of Allure", "Singing & Dancing Sword" and other "non-slot" items. Tell me please, can I put an Enhances on them?
For example, "Singing & Dancing Sword" is non-slot item, but it's a weapon (right?), so I can enhance it with weapon enhancer?

If your question is about cards identifying themselves as Weapon Enhancers, then those are covered by the FAQ answer:

Q. Exactly what is a "weapon"?
A. In a more rigorous game, we would have labeled all the swords, axes, etc. as "weapons." Try to use common sense, even if this IS Munchkin. As a general rule, any item that uses Hands and is not already labeled as something else can be considered a weapon, as can items like the Singing and Dancing Sword that are obviously weapons.

OK, it is clear now, thank you.

Then what about other non-slot items like Kneepads of Allure, Spiky Knees, Pantyhose of Giant Strength and Stepladder - can I label them like a Boots using same logic? Or they are like not mentioned "attributes" and don't belong to any part of a body?

I am not sure what you are asking? If you are asking about "Footwear", then "Footwear" would be printed on the card, since that is a defined Slot.

Yes, about "Footwear".
I mean, FAQ says that Singing & Dancing Sword is a weapon because it looks like a weapon.
Kneepads of Allure, Spiky Knees, Pantyhose of Giant Strength and Stepladder looks like they are using legs (but not using slots and don't labeled as a Footwear), so, Footwear Enhancers could be put on them or not?

P.s. sorry for my strange formulation :)

No. "Footwear" is a specific slot defined in the Rules. If a card does not say "Footwear", then it is not "Footwear".

OK, thank you a lot!

Re: Enhances and non-slot items
 
All of your examples are qualified as Items, so anything that affects an Item will affect them, but, since they are not items that take up a specific slot, (headgear, footgear, etc...) they are not affected by things that target specific slots.

This has all mostly been said in this thread, but I figured I'd collect it all in one place.
