Rules Questions

Is there a maximum hand size for battle cards? I.e. can Durkon rest and re-use WWTD to take up the entire battle deck, three cards at a time?

There's no limit to your hand size. Yes, if Durkon wants to spend every other turn resting, he can take the whole deck if that's the kind of thing that makes the game fun for him.

Elan’s Wacky Hijinks: Is it within the strict interpretation of the rules that if two players refuse to put their fingers on their nose that then the shtick has no effect?

Right, if two or more people don't touch their nose, then the shtick has no effect.

Can you voluntarily flip a shtick without using it?

No.

The proposed rules in the FAQ for dealing with huge combat sizes is to limit support to a single monster (the highest applicable on the stack). If a goblin ninja is at the top of the stack followed by Redcloak and a host of goblins, then would the correct play be that the ninja would receive all of the assist bonuses and Redcloak would receive support only from the ninja (and thus only increase the stack size by one)?

Right. A monster can only support the top-most monster that it can support. Both Redcloak and the other goblins will support the top-most goblin (the ninjas) and Redcloak will receive support from only the ninjas, since it's the only other goblin in play when Redcloak comes down and since it's the top-most goblin that the ninjas can support.

If the stack survives unharmed, in the next battle since the ninja only receives bonuses during the first turn in play, would the goblins then support Redcloak (both increasing Redcloak’s Attack and Defense and increasing the battle size, but not changing the battle size because it already was determined the previous round) or does the ninja still “claim” the supporting goblins?

No, they're still supporting the ninjas. However, if the ninjas are defeated, then the goblin's support will switch to Redcloak.
