"Help me out Here" + "Pollymorph Potion"...

I understand that you gave an official ruling, but I'm curious as to why "no" in that case.

A henchman, sidekick or whatever who could hold weapons for you, and having the ability to equip said weapons on said sidekick (by being merchant) would CLEARLY be helping you and most likely allow you to win that fight. Why is it not allowed? Just curious.

As for the "Hand Limit" thing, yes, I understand that, but instead of putting the Polymorph potion on the table, just sell it for a level since it's worth 1000 gold pieces, IIRC. That would just be concerning this situation though.

I understand how it could be necessary to use that, but showing one-shot items to every other munchkin reduces your possibilities of surprising them and winning a battle by the skin of your teeth, or of being able to run away without them being able to stop you, or something else that one-shots can do.
