A hero can use their main action to give/take any amount of items from/to a directly adjacent hero.
Simple.
Who said that? Borin's armour can definitely be combined with a shield and helmet (and cloak of protection and bracers if you're using those), even though it actually includes a helmet in the picture, a better helmet can be worn instead.Jalapenotrellis wrote:The borins armor thread seems to have a consensus of enhanced plate-mail without penalty that allows you to use Shields and helmets. One poster seems to think that it would be stuck at 4 defense dice. I could see it either way as well, because it is an excellent artifact and might need a drawback.
That leaves open the issue of items being used multiple times in the same round.Spookyhappyfun wrote:Here's my item passing rules:
Passing Items
On their turn, any Hero may pass any one item they own to other Heroes. If the 2 Heroes are in adjacent squares and neither Hero is adjacent to a Monster, the item can be passed with no problems. If the item is a piece of armor or clothing that is currently equipped or being worn, then passing the item counts as an action. Otherwise, it can be performed alongside an action as a bonus.
Nice, throwing items to each other is a cool idea. I'd make it always drop adjacent to the target though, it's cleaner than half way and makes more sense.Spookyhappyfun wrote:If the Heroes are adjacent to a Monster or not adjacent to each other but within sight range, the item can be passed from one Hero to the other with a chance to drop the item. The throwing Hero must roll one White Combat Die. If a Black Shield is rolled, the item falls to the ground in a space halfway between the two Heroes (or at the Hero’s feet if adjacent to a Monster). The item can be retrieved by any Hero or Monster moving to that space on their turn with no additional action necessary other than announcing their intention to pick up the item. Important! Fragile items like Potions will break and be destroyed if the throw fails. An item’s durability will be decided by Zargon.
