Default Re: "Help me out Here" + "Pollymorph Potion"...

Also, thanks for the reply.
Allow me to be succinct: "In play" includes all the cards in front of a player that are face-up, excluding persistent curses. This means that ALL the Items one is carrying, not only those one is using, is susceptible to Help Me Out Here.

This game does not have a "belt" or a "pack," so please avoid using those terms if you can.

As for your other question, I'd like to understand Andrew's reasoning: SJ and I have allowed for the use of HMOH to take the Kneepads Of Allure, as long as there's another player in the party who can turn the tide and there isn't already a helper, so I don't understand why one couldn't take a Pollymorph Potion or a Magic Lamp. If we're changing policy, that's fine. . .
