I recently played a game in which the following question came up:

When fighting multiple monsters which one of your items grants an additional bonus, does one get multiple additional bonuses?

Based on the wording on page 9, in Helpers in Combat, it does not work like that when it's a monster against multiple players, so it would not make sense to me for it to work like that for the players. Also, the Bane Rings explicitly say 'against each [color] monster', which makes me think that the other cards with monster-specific bonuses would also say that if they were intended to work in that fashion.

Obviously, of course, the guy who was up against multiple fearsome, huge, enraged tentacled things had a different interpretation of the rules...
