Can I decide at any time not to fight a monster?
If I would meet a level 20 platinum dragon for instance while I'm level 1, but I have enough equipment and buffs to be level 21 I could beat the dragon and so I decide to.
Now at 2.5 seconds someone screams *slow-mo low voice*NOOOOOOO! and buffs the dragon to, say, level 25. Can I change my mind and walk away at that last moment? I know you can choose at any time not to fight in case of the stoned gollem, but the text is different from the "will not pursue" monsters |

If you aren't winning outright, then yes, you may decide not to use all your options and try to Run Away instead.

If you choose to run, all the cards you played are discarded, and you get to roll to see if Bad Stuff happens (or, in the case of the PD, he just ignores you and you go about your merry way).

Correct, you choose to run away, and the PD ignores you, so you don't need to roll for Bad Stuff.

Not quite: You have to Run Away, but you won't get caught. Big difference.

Re: Can I decide at any time not to fight a monster?
So does this mean that if you used a couple one shots, they can be returned? Another question, at what point does a one shot item become used? I mean, if you are looking through your items and say; "If I use these items, I will have a combat strength of 21 and be able to beat the Plutonium Dragon." Does that mean they are used? And then if, as the original poster stated, some plays a monster enhancer that no longer allows you to beat the monster, do you lose your one shots?

So you do have to Run Away from the PD, even if he does not chase you. Because another munchkin might have something that would make the PD change his mind. |

We put combat modifiers in the center of the table when they're used, so there's no question whether they're "in play" or not.
