Number of Big Items one can have

[Topsub]

Just want to make sure i understand at any ONE time on the table we can only have 1 big item down?

So i can't have 1 big item equ and the one turned sideways carried?


Some friends and us where wanting to be clear on this.

Correct, you can only carry 1 big item whether you have it equipped or not equipped.

Not equipped being that you have it turned sideways and are not counting its bonus and abilities.

It should be noted that ships and steeds that are marked big do not count against this limit of 1 and you can use a cheat card to carry a second big item, also a hireling can carry and use 1 big item aswell and as he is carrying it this also does not count against your limit of 1.

thanks for the info, What do people normally do with extra big items if we cant lay them down?

1. Decide which Big Item will benefit you the most.

2a. If the one already in service, use the one in your hand to discard to power an ability, sell it for a level, or just keep it if you have room in your hand -- you could get cursed or change your class/race/etc.

2b. If the one in your hand, sell the one on the table for a level, or trade it for a small item, then lay down the one in your hand.

Anyone else have a strategy suggestion?

thanks for your feedback, but can you explain what you mean by trade it for a small item? Do you mean turn it sideways and swap it for a non big item for example?

He means trade it to another player. Or I assume he does, since that would work to get rid of it and allow you to play another Big item. Turning it sideways wouldn't let you play another Big item, since you can only carry one Big item, and cards turned sideways are still carried.
