Many weapon enhance your abilities when you are attacking. If the traitor or monster attacks you, do you get the bonus? I assume so but thought it best to ask. Example: spear, axe.
Only when you are attacking.
Is this confirmed? We didn't think it made sense thematically for this to be the case, because it would mean that a player would attack with a weapon and then...suddenly be unable to use it? But then again, it does seem to help make the heroes less powerful if they scooped up a ton of weaponry. In the rules under "Making an Attack" I didn't see any differentiation between attacking and defending..it kinda just seemed like you attacked and the other guy attacks back. We assumed that the flavor text on the cards was specifically meant to imply that you couldn't bolster might rolls and such when NOT in combat.
Interesting...very interesting. If this is true, we have certainly been doing it wrong and must change it up.
