Aiding a monster in combat.
I was playing with a friend and he was fighting a monster and i played another as a wondering monster so now he faced two. He played a card from the munchkin fu deck we were playing that removed any cards that would aid a monster and said the wondering monster would be affected and removed because he was aiding the other. I said that is not what the cards says as it stated a card aiding the monster (I.E. and enhancer, or potion or anyone shot to pump it up or help it directly and only it. ) as the wondering monster card is in and of its self not doing anything to aid the other monster and it only effects the added one. I told him f the first was an undead and i played another to help it as per the rules then it would affect the added monster seeing as he is directly assisting the original monster.

Re: Aiding a monster in combat.
The card in question is Kung Fu Grope and your description is pretty accurate. However, I'm comfortable ruling that using Wandering Monster to add a monster to the combat is not "[aiding] any one monster" as intended by the card.

Re: Aiding a monster in combat.
thanks, man, I have been a GM for years and can get a good handle on most basics of the game quick and usually my gut response is correct in my judgment calls. Thanks for confirming said call

Re: Aiding a monster in combat.
Mr. Hackard, how does kung fu grope react to Spirit mirror? Is spirit mirror allowed, if it's aiding the monster in such a way that it prevents it from getting killed?
Can you still attack a friendly monster? |

That question has a more complex answer that boils down to "It depends on what made it friendly." You have to read the card. If a monster says out of the gate that it will not attack a certain Class or Race, for instance, munchkins of that Class or Race cannot fight it at all. However, there are other cards that say different things, so I can't give a universal answer.

Re: Aiding a monster in combat.
Ok, thank you.
So - could I have attacked this particular monster? I wanted to kill it to finish the game... |
