Race/Class Enhancers

[Gidoza]

2 questions with regard to these...

A. In know that Legendary/Elder/Elite are race/class enhancers; now, in virtue of Munchkin 8, do Half-Breed and Super Munchkin become race/class enhancers as well?

B. Whereas with Super Munchkin or Half-Breed, you can shift around race cards because you got an extra one to use, I presume that you CAN'T do this with Legendary/Elder/Elite — these can't be moved/swapped to another race/class card: once one is picked, you gotta stick with it or lose it, and if you throw it out to switch classes, then it's gone. Is this correct?

[MunchkinMan]

A, no, because you're correct about B. Half-Breed and Super Munchkin are their own kind of cards, but closer to Race and Class cards than Race/Class enhancers, as they can be discarded at whim. Also, they are not attached to a particular Race or Class.

[Gidoza]

Hm! I didn't know that Half Breed or Super Munchkin could be discarded at a whim...I missed that one somehow. And Legendary/Elite/Elder can't be?

[Gidoza]

Oh, and thank you. :D

A Class/Race Enhancer is attached to the Class or Race you play it on. Nothing in the rules about them (you'll have to look at the rules for Munchkin: Reloaded) allows you to discard them just because you want to. You could discard a Class Enhancer to power an ability that requires a card discard, or in order to satisfy a Curse or Bad Stuff that requires you to discard a card. And, of course, if you discard the Race or Class the card is attached to, it must be discarded.

[Gidoza]

Ah, so in that sense, class/race enhancers function more like items, even though they are not items. Would that be a better way of putting it?

And...since there's nothing in the rules about this, I'm presuming that you can only have one such enhancer placed on a single race/class card and cannot double it...but worth checking as well, I suppose.

[MunchkinMan]

The rules card from Munchkin: Reloaded, as I mentioned before, covers that, but it restates a rule from the main rules, essentially: You may only have one copy of a Class Enhancer or Race Enhancer on any of your Races or Classes. I.e., you can't have a two Dark Races or two Elite Classes. It is a known oversight that the rules for Class/Race Enhancers are missing in the Munchkin 8 rules.

All of the rules can be found on this page: http://www.worldofmunchkin.com/rules

A. They can be played (or discarded) at at any time you would play (or discard) a Class or Race card.

so can I discard Class/Race Enhancer or not?

The FAQ is correct. The rules should have been clearer and we will make notes to improve them the next time we reprint Munchkin Game Changers and Munchkin 8.
