Default Noob questions

Hello,
I'm a noon and has a question. How does the warrior's berseker skill interact with the backpack? Can I discard cards from my backpack in battle to activate the skill?
Hope that someone can answer me. Thanks in advance!

There is no backpack in Munchkin. Items in play are either carried or equipped. Carried Items are not actively giving you a bonus and are turned sideways to indicate this.

The Warrior's Berserking ability can be powered by discarding cards from your hand or in play, this includes both carried and equipped Items.

The rule about carried Items says that you cannot change which Items you have equipped and which you have carried while you're in combat. This does not mean you can't discard them to power an ability.

I answered this exact question on Reddit a few days ago, where it was brought to my attention that the german translation of the rules actually does the use the word Backpack. This is incorrect and I will address that with them.
