Can I use this card by myself along with a Cheat card?

Yes, to both of these.

In rule language, a helper is ALWAYS another player who joins your fight and adds his combat strength to yours.

Just to clarify, that first line had two questions in it and you were saying that, Yes, I can use the card by myself if I somehow had four (or more) hands correct?

[Andrew Hackard]

If you can manage four Hands by yourself, you do not need a helper.

Thank you kind sir!

Card says "If you have a helper...", but what if I am a helper? Can we use it together?

By the strict reading, no, but I'm ruling that two people can use it together regardless of who actually owns the Ram.

What if the other player is cursed by Tiny hands? Can we use the Battering Ram together as techically it is me who carries (=has in play) it, not them?
