Curses and Class question

[MunchkinMan]

Class abilities which give a combat bonus based on discards persist even after the Class has been discarded (whether intentionally or "by force"), however you can't discard a Class, then play another copy of the Class and get another set of uses for that ability.

We cover this in the FAQ:

A. Yes. If you quit being an Elf, you can no longer get a bonus from Elf-only items, and so on. You can never get the benefit of two Races or two Classes in one combat unless you have a special card that allows it. Powers driven by discards are an exception, however. If a Warrior had already discarded a card to get a +1 combat bonus, and then stopped being a Warrior, he would keep the bonus, but wouldn't be able to discard any more cards for the Warrior bonus. Yes, this rule can be used to the player's advantage. Hee hee. (However, you cannot discard Warrior and play another Warrior card to use the Berserking ability twice.)
