Discarding before death
So i was playing with some friends lats night and something that happened (which has happened before) made me question whether it can happen or not. I spent some time looking and was not able to find anything. Maybe i just missed something.
Here's the question: If a player is fighting a monster (davy Jones) and cant beat it and does not make the run away. Is the player allowed to discard all his stuff so there is nothing for anyone to loot. |

Re: Discarding before death
Absolutely not. Once you fail the runaway roll, you are dead. You can do nothing else except play a card that specifically says it can be played after rolling a die. Also, even if a person isn't dead, they can't discard cards for no reason.

Re: Discarding before death
More specifically, after you fail to run away, you MUST suffer the Bad Stuff immediately (barring a card played to alter the result of the failed roll, such as Loaded Die, or something else that allows automatic escape). You only die if the Bad Stuff says you do.
Additionally, you cannot simply "discard your stuff" - items are lost when a card tells you to lose them (such as a curse), when you sell, trade or have them stolen (not during combat), or when your dead body is looted.

Re: Discarding before death
Thanks for the reply's
Also does that mean you are not able to discard for the sake of discarding? unless specified by a card? |

That is correct.

You can not discard Items or cards from your hand simply for the sake of discarding them. Races and Classes that you have in play (and subsequently Half Breed and Super Munchkin) can be discard at any time (i.e., you don't even have to wait for it to be your turn to discard them). I checked, and what I wrote for the FAQ a "few" years ago still exists: Quote:
