Quick General Questions
 
1. Can I destroy Divine Intervention with Anihilation before cleric gets his tenth level and wins the game?
2. Can I play GUAL cards anytime, even in the middle of a battle?
3. Can I draw treasures of a monster vanished with Potion of Disbelief if it was the only monster in battle?
4. When you use Vorpal Blade and you get the +10 bonus from it, does a monster enhancer (e.g. monstrous) changes his name thus losing its bonus?
5. Cards like Baby Oil let you run away from only one monster? What happens in a multiple monster battle?
6. Can I play Senseless Act of Kindness to go up a level even if I dont have any items?
7. If I lose my Dwarf Race what happens to my extra big items, do I have to throw them away, can I trade or sell them?
8. If I have in play Fake Ears/ Fake Beard and I am Halfing, do the bonuses against Halfings affect me, or am I well-covered?

Yes. The last sentence on the card says that if Annihilation is used on a card that was just played, that card is cancelled. If you cancel a card, its effect(s) never happened.

Yes. The rules say this: "Other Treasure cards are “specials” (like “Go Up A Level”). You may play these at any time, unless the card itself says otherwise."

3. Can I draw treasures of a monster vanished with Potion of Disbelief if it was the only monster in battle?
Of course. There were no monsters left to fight and stop you from getting the Treasure, so you get it.

No.

Actually, Baby Oil implies pretty strongly that you get away from all the Monsters in the combat. Most of those cards do, from looking a few over.

6. Can I play Senseless Act of Kindness to go up a level even if I dont have any items?
It's a GUAL card. If you play it on yourself, just go up a Level. If you play it on someone else, then they must give you the Item described to get a Level.

7. If I lose my Dwarf Race what happens to my extra big items, do I have to throw them away, can I trade or sell them?
The rules actually directly address this. Read the first three paragraphs of the section entitled Items, on page 5, though the third paragraph is the most important.

If you're a Halfling wearing Fake Ears, then Monsters will react to you as if you were an Elf. If you're a Halfling wearing the Fake Beard, then Monster will react to you as if you were a Dwarf. That doesn't make you not a Halfling, so you can still use Halfling Items, but Monsters will react to you based on your disguise.

A few questions of my own:
  1. Does adding the "Jolly Old..." modifier to a monster give the Vorpal Blade the special bonus?
  2. Can you cancel a tenth level as it is gained by playing a "Lose a Level" curse, or once they get the tenth is the game automatically over?

1.) It is based on the name of the monster, not on any Enhancers you put on it. Here is an official response...http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.p...58&postcount=6

2.) Once the level is gained, a Lose A Level curse wouldn't work. (For instance, if Divine Intervention is played, causing a Cleric to go to Level 10, a Lose A Level curse won't help.) However, since in the vast majority of cases the winning level is gained by winning a combat against a monster, and the Munchkin, even if they are defeating the Monster(s), must wait a reasonable amount of time for opponents to respond before declaring combat over and taking levels/treasure, you are perfectly able to play said curse on them when it becomes obvious that they are going to win, BEFORE they take their level.

If, however, you sit there and do nothing, and combat is declared over and they take the level, I don't think you can THEN jump in and say, "Oops, I meant to make you lose a level." Unless the person you are playing against is VERY generous.
