Blending Classes

If you try to apply deeper and greater meanings to all these different cards, you're going to drive yourself insane.

Also, where in the Super Munchkin rules do you see a specific exclusion to not try to treat the Wizard and the Mystic as the same? I mean, I'm searching through the new and previous versions of these rules, and I have to say, "Wizard" doesn't come up, and "Mystic" only gets referred to twice.

End of the rules. Goes over how the Wizard and the Mystic are NEVER the same.

Do not extrapolate bonuses and penalties. A monster has what it has, no more and no less. A bonus against Thieves is not a bonus against Thefty characters from Super Munchkin.

Thanks for the clarification on the British.
But a bonus against characters with Theft gets a bonus against Thieves?

I'm not sure how many cards describe their effects in such a general fashion i.e. just "British" players. But if British Loyalty and British Accent are both equivalent of a Race card in fantasy Munchkin and a player has both of them and the effect just says "British players" I'd go with stacking bonuses/penalties.

Thanks for the clarification on this. Should help balance out our games a bit.
