Hireling Holding An Item

Gidoza · 07-15-2013, 02:20 PM

Can a player equip/unequip an item held by a Hireling at will, or is an item placed with a Hireling with the Hireling forever until that item is somehow destroyed?

You can equip/unequip as long as you aren't in combat (in which case, you are stuck with whatever lineup you have).

Also, if the Hireling goes away, then the item goes too.

Munchkinator, the Item may actually stay with you if the Hireling is not one of the generic ones from Munchkin, Munchkin 3 nor Munchkin Legends. The Hireling rules in other sets (e.g., Munchkin 4) say that you can keep the Item if a Hireling dies (due to a card like Kill the Hireling). Hireling from the aforementioned sets has different text on its card that overrides that rule.
