Munchkin Fantasy: Some Rules Questions

[chec]

Hi, I'm a fairly new to playing munchkin and i'm hoping to clear some stuff up on this thread :)

1. Cheat - only items can be applied on the cheat card right? not monsters, curses, etc.

can you:
- play the card in replacement of Wandering Monster
- play the card in replacement of super munchkin/half breed
- play the card to block or reflect a curse

2. Items - what are items specifically? is the term "items" limited to:

hand weapons/armor/headgear/footgear and item enhancers? or does it extend to other kinds of door/treasure cards?

3. Placing (un-equipped) cards on the table to prevent charity: is there any restrictions on which kind of cards are allowed to be placed on the table to prevent charity? can we place as many cards as we want?

4. Super Munchkin Card states that: if you played this card you are technically immune of the disadvantages of your Class (this is when you choose not to have two classes). So does this mean for example:

I'm a super thief, can I steal any time and i can try and steal as much as i can coz i do not have the disadvantage of "discarding an item to steal"

can i backstab more than once now that i am a super thief? and not discard as well?

i think its easier to understand the rules for other classes once we clear this up :)

4. My friend told me that if you do not want to give to charity (assuming that someone is at a lower level than you) you can just discard. is this allowed?

I'm sure to be active in this forums, as far as i know I'm one of the many followers of SJ games in the Philippines and we're hoping to host a tourney soon in partner with some gaming organizers :)

thanks everyone!
