The Dweller question

[RandomParadoX]

Could someone clarify this text on The Dweller from the Conan booster:
"Any Item that gives a combat bonus to players can be used to help the Dweller. It has LOTS of hands!"

Does this mean that the Dweller can be given any item already in play from munchkins wanting to interfere? Or does this mean these items must be played from their hands?

Second, depending on the case, what would happen to those items at the end of combat?

The way I read the card, it meant that players could give it any equipment/items they have handy. These basically act like enhancers for the combat, and as such they go away with the monster at the end of combat. I suppose these items could be from the hand or even from the table.

That's what I was thinking. I wasn't sure only because of how insanely powerful a loaded munchkin could make The Dweller.

I've tickled Andrew to see if he's got any design perspective on this one. Hold on, and we'll have an official answer.

Hey, look who's clearing out his PM inbox!

Wow, that could not possibly be any less clear. Here's the intent: if you have an Item card, in play or in your hand, that gives a combat bonus and you want to play it on the Dweller, you can do so. The card is discarded when the Dweller is.
