Re: Munchkin Bites:Transmogrification Card
 

Actually, I'd rule exactly the opposite. Something that can says it can be "except in combat" means when YOU are in combat.

But we may have ruled differently in the past; guess it'll require some discussion.

Re: Munchkin Bites:Transmogrification Card
 

I was mostly thinking of the "You may not sell, trade, or steal items DURING a fight."

Re: Munchkin Bites:Transmogrification Card
 

Which means that while you are in combat, you may not sell, trade or steal Items (and, fortunately, not have Items stolen from you). Nothing prevents a Thief who is not in combat from stealing from another player who is not in combat. Nothing stops two players who are not in combat, even while a combat is going on, from trading with each other. . .

Re: Munchkin Bites:Transmogrification Card
 

I haven't played BITES, so this may be a naive question, but what is with the "as long as this does not cause you to exceed your maximum hand size" part of this card?

There is no maximum hand size, until the end of your turn / charity phase.

So unless you try to use transmogrification during the charity phase, that whole clause is pointless, no?

Or does the card want to mean as long "as this does not cause you to exceed the maximum hand size you would have during your charity phase"?

Re: Munchkin Bites:Transmogrification Card
 

My interpretation was that you could not exceed the usual charity hand limit unless you have a card that modifies it. There is a power (powers were introduced instead of classes in Bites) that lets you keep an extra card in your hand.

That being said if one had the powers "Transmogrification" and "Malediction" could on essentially throw ones entire inventory at another player as combat minuses? Fill the hand using transmogrification, empty it using malediction, repeat til you have no more cards?

Re: Munchkin Bites:Transmogrification Card
 

I'm pretty sure you can already do that. I don't think Malediction requires you to discard a card in your hand in order to power it.

Re: Munchkin Bites:Transmogrification Card
 

that seems kind of strange because if someone is in combat and then another player wants to help but doesn't have enough bonus to help, does that mean he is able to trade with someone else who is not in combat so that he has enough bonus?

Re: Munchkin Bites:Transmogrification Card
 

i think you're right.

Re: Munchkin Bites:Transmogrification Card
 

Re: Munchkin Bites:Transmogrification Card
 

i suppose, but stealing is one sided, and i'm not sure but i think there are cards that say not usable during your combat and that would be redundant if that was the case for anything that said not usable during combat.
