cheat rule clarification PLEASE HELP!!!!

[mikemaster98]

if you are playing as lets say a level 5 wizard, just as an example, with the 11 foot pole as youre item, giving you a plus one bonus. you have mithral armor in your hand, but, OH NO!!!! NOT USABLE BY WIZARDS!!! you play the cheat card cuz your awesome. NOW its usable by wizards. its also a big item. now lets say you somehow get chainsaw of boody dismemberment. if you get rid of 11 foot pole, you have enough hands toplay it. BUT lets say you do that automaticly. so mithral armor is big, and chainsaw is big too. 2 big items are not allowed. does the cheat card automatically make your armor small? (metaphoriccally speaking) so you can have both? do cheat cards adjust?

The cheated armor is still big, but does not count toward the one-big-item limit.

The Cheat! card is well discussed here, in the thread entitled "Critical Links & Useful Information -- READ ME FIRST!!!"

The Cheat! card lets you cheat on as many properties as necessary. It can be one, two, or five.

so it can adjust from one cheat to two cheats

Sort of, but not really. Two cheats would allow you to play two different items. One cheat allows you to ignore all restrictions for one item (or steed/ship/promotional item), no matter how many there are. The cheat rules linked above by MunchkinMan make this very clear in the paragraph below the bullet list.

I believe he meant: one Cheat! card that is only cheating one characteristic of the Item (usable for Dwarf only) can be adjusted to cheat two characteristic (if the Item is also Big and I play another Big Item). And the answer is yes, as previously stated.

You aren't required to say which properties of the cheated Item are being ignored, and so it doesn't matter if you go from one to two to five conflicts -- Cheat! covers them all.
