Combat and Really Impressive Title

Xylon Lionheart · 09-07-2010, 02:18 PM

The more I play this game the more I am thinking like a Munchkin. I was thinking about ways to be deceptive during combat for your own gain. The first idea I had was that if you helped somebody in combat, you could then play an elf card in your hand to gain a level yourself, thus they allowed you to help without realizing the extent of what you'd get from the combat. After all, you can discard a race at any time. However I do believe you can only change classes or races on your own turn, though that would still give you some possibilities, like switching to a Warrior when things are tied or to first use a Cleric's power against an undead and then switch and use the Warrior's berserk. I wanted to double check that my idea with the elf was indeed illegal, because if it isn't, I'd love to pull that on my friends during the game.

My main question that is more ambiguous, however, is using cards like "Really Impressive Title" in combat. The rules say you cannot use/equip items in battle unless they are one shot. However I saw a discussion on the website saying that "Really Impressive Title" is not an item, even though it is a permanent. Thus, is it possible to keep the card in your hand and use it during combat? It's supposedly not restricted as an item, after all.
