Various Munchkin Adventure Time Rules Questions

[MunchkinMan]

There are way too many questions here to answer them all in one thread without causing confusion down the road. I'm going to break this up, if I can. In the future, please try to ask only one question per thread just so that we don't create threads of discussion within a thread.

Please bear in mind that the Tabletop episode actually ends up highlighting some incorrect ways to play, and is more for giving an idea of what the game is like rather than being a how-to on playing the game.
