Default Switching modifier cards.

In the middle of a game, I have elf, halfling, cleric, and a 1/2 breed card, as well as a gnome card in my hand. On my turn, I kick down a door and get either 1/3 breed or chimera, which goes into my hand. Can I look for trouble, playing an undead monster, play 1/3 breed, discard 1/2 breed, and use the discard (of 1/2 breed) to give me +3 against the monster I put down? If playing 1/3 breed works, I assume I'm then clear to play gnome and use the powers it gives me as well.

Or, since I can only have one of the "breed" cards in play at a time, do I have to drop a race when I discard the 1/2 breed card, and once those are discarded, I can then play 1/3 breed and gnome, having had to drop either elf or halfling? If I do have to discard 1/2 breed and, say halfling, can I then get +6 to fight the undead monster?

And of course the same question applies if trying to switch from super munchkin to ultra munchkin.

It seems clear that if I had just one race (or class for the super/ultra munchkin cards,) that it's easy to discard the race/class modifier and then play the more flexible one. The question is can I keep two classes or races in play when switching.

Regards,
aeronaut

You can switch from Half-Breed to 1/3-Breed, but you cannot use the discarded Half-Breed card to power an ability. Cards spent to power abilities must be discarded ONLY for that purpose.

But if it is his turn (and in his example it is) he could: Discard the Half-Breed to get +3, thus becoming a regular Elf. Then he can play 1/3 Breed anytime during his turn. He is now a 1/3 Elf. Just after that, he plays the Gnome card.

Can't he?

Yes, he could do that, if that was his layout. But his question said that he had TWO races, not just one.

I don't mind other people weighing in, but please read the previous posts carefully before doing so.

Thank you. So if I was willing to give up halfling, I could discard halfling, then discard 1/2 breed, getting +6, and then play 1/3 breed and gnome. But there's no way to get a +3 bonus and keep all the race cards in play.
