I assume I can play in response to that as well?

Yes and you can take your time. For the active player the 2.6sec rule does not count. Since if you can't beat the monster, you still need to run away. As long as you didn't start running away, you can buff yourself. Or search for someone to help you.

<p>A combatant would currently lose a fight, asks the party if anyone is playing anything, they all say no.</p>
<p>Now if he plays a card to win the fight, can players now play monster modifiers?</p>

In munchkin, can a combatant wait for all modifiers and then make a choice?

A combatant would currently lose a fight, asks the party if anyone is playing anything, they all say no.

Now if he plays a card to win the fight, can players now play monster modifiers?
