Newbie question re: "discard"
So, as an example, when fighting a Level 12 Tongue Demon the instructions on the card say "must discard one item (your choice) before combat". Okay, does that mean from my items in play or can it by from my hand. Or is that what "your choice" means? Can someone define the definition of "discard" where no specifics are given? Many thanks.

Re: Newbie question re: "discard"
It needs to be an Item from in play, it could be any Item currently in front of you (a card with a Value, could be armour, weapon, or one-shot). Discard means to put the card in the discard pile, you don't get any benefits from it anymore, and you cannot use it to power an ability that asks for discards.
I believe a previous ruling states that cards in your hand are "Cards" not Items. An Item card only becomes an Item when you put it in play. |

Re: Newbie question re: "discard"
Neos Magus - Thanks for the clarification on my question without being all smug and snarky like Mr. Super Moderator. Apparently he forgets that this is the Munchkin 101 forum so people like myself who are new to the game - and new to any type of game like this - might have trouble keeping up with all the rules and come here for help, not attitude. In fact, I'm going to go post a new thread now to see who might be helpful!

I'm sorry that MunchkinMan's attempt at humor fell so flat. Rest assured, he will be wearing the Chicken On His Head for a while in penance.

Re: Newbie question re: "discard"
I was actually trying to determine where you saw a lack of specifics, and I was pointing out where the specifics were in that case. I was not at any point trying to be funny, and I'm sorry if my attempt to help you see where the actual specifics came from came across wrong.
