Default Raincoat and Transferal Potion

Hopefully a simple question:

Scenario: Player A and B are fighting a monster. The monster gets buffed and mated and ends up at a value of 74. They're losing, so player B plays transferal potion to transfer combat to player C who is wearing the raincoat (and tinfoil hat, though I doubt that matters here). Is this valid? I guess it depends on ones interpretation of the raincoat card and whether transferal potion is played on another munchkin or on the monster?

If they cannot transfer it to the munchkin with the raincoat, does transferal potion go back into player B's hand (to be able to be played on someone else) or is it discarded having had no effect?

Since it was player A's turn originally, can player B play the potion to transfer it solely to player A.

Thanks for the help.

Yes to first scenario. Raincoat protects against potions played in combat, transferral happened before that players combat.

No to second. A and B already in combat together.

Actually, raincoat says (and I could be wrong, but this is what I recall from the discussion): "other players cannot use potions to interfere with your combats".

The question being whether causing a combat is interfering with your combats, which could potentially include the state of not being in combat. I.E. Player C's combats are 0 currently, transferal potion increases his combats to 1 thereby interfering with his combats.

The player wearing the Raincoat was not the player hit with the potion. That the combat can then be transferred to him is not affected by the Raincoat.

Thank you for answering my question.

To be certain I'm not mistaken, this is what I take from your statement: Transferal Potion is being played upon the player(s) currently in combat; not the player combat is being transferred to, nor the monster(s).

Thanks again.
