Does helping have to be helpful?

PLUS, who's to say that someone won't ask you for Help against a horrible nightmare of a monster, just to make a Run-Away with a Loaded Die and leave you to potentially suffer the Bad Stuff?

I'd rather be fully armed and operational in that situation and just be used like a dish rag than give everyone any MORE reason to beat on my poor pathetic excuse of a corpse, y'know?

You do make an interesting point, but in the case of a monster with nasty Bad Stuff, if there is somebody else at the table that can beat it and your zombified corpse can't, the player is much more likely to reach an agreement with them before they'll settle upon dragging you down with them. And hey, if they are going to settle on you, maybe they'll let you equip stuff first anyway...
