Interferring with "Help Me Out Here"

This is correct.
As soon as a card is played (declared), it is DONE. Anything declared afterward has to wait until the first card is completely resolved before it can take effect.

The only way to prevent a card from working is to use a card that explicitly says "cancels". If a card does not say "cancels" then it can't stop ANYTHING.

This applies to any abilities of cards in play as well. If you declare you're using the Kneepads, the target cannot "prevent" that by playing Change Sex on themselves. They would be dragged in to help, and THEN change sex... but still be stuck helping.

Short answer for geeks: Munchkin works the opposite of Magic for stacks and order of resolution.

Nothing on the Kneepads Of Allure specifies the sex of either party. You're thinking of the French "Charm ze Rival" power from Booty.

Details schmetails.....

More relevantly, I've been playing very little Fantasy as of late, so I'm a bit rusty. Those two are fairly similar.

Andrew is as usual, always correct, in all things :)
