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

Re: Switching modifier cards.
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.

Re: Switching modifier cards.
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?
