Cards on the Table Qs

Races are restricted to one in play, unless you have Half-Breed, which would allow two. In either case, to replace a Race, you have to discard the current Race and put a new one down. Powers are restricted by your Level and the Ranks of the Powers you have in play already. Minions are restricted to one, which means you'd have to discard one to play another one, unless you have a card which overrides that rule. Nothing in the rules allow you to turn a Race, Power, or Minion that you're not "using" sideways, so you can't do it.

Great Thanks! This brings up a new question. When you are using the Half-Breed card I assume that goes on the table?

You can turn a Big Item sideways if you're not using it, but that does not mean you could put a second Big Item in play to use. Having a Big Item does not mean you can't have any small Items.

I guess my confusion here came from the rules "You may carry any number of small items, but only one Big one. You may not simply discard one Big item to play another; you must sell it, trade it, lose it to a Curse or Bad Stuff, or discard it to power a Power or Race ability."
It doesn't say you can just turn the BIG item sideways so the impression I get is you had to get rid of it.
