Bosses bad stuff

[Reaperjon90]

I know that you can’t play escape cards against bosses and it says you automatically lose a level if you lose. I was wondering do you also suffer the bad stuff or roll for the bad stuff. Or is just the level loss and that it it?

The rule in question is on page two the Munchkin Bosses rule sheet:

On the other hand, if you cannot kill the
Boss, you have proved your inferiority.
Instead of rolling to Run Away from the
Boss, lose a level automatically. You
don’t lose a level if you are the already the
lowest Level or tied for lowest, because
you’re suffering enough. If there are other
monsters in the fight, Run Away from
them normally after dealing with the Boss.

We all agree the Munchkin Bosses rules state automatically lose a Level if needed to Run Away.

However, there is no further instruction or clarifications if it is lose a Level only or Lose a Level and roll for the Bad Stuff. With that said, Devin Lewis on stream rolled for Run Away of the Bad Stuff and automatically lost a Level. Therefore, Devin is probably the only one who can clarify this rule at this time.

Thank you for all the info. I guess I will wait to see if Devin gives a final word and for now we will play it based on how the table votes lol

Interested in how this one gets ruled on. The rules say "Instead of rolling to Run Away from the Boss, lose a level automatically." Which is implied that the lose a level overrides the bosses bad stuff.

Yeah, we totally played it wrong on camera, but it was entertaining, so I let it go. You do not have to roll to run away from the boss. You just lose the level.

Always good if it’s entertaining. Lol. Thank you for the clarification
