Am I using my Cheat Right?

[GargletheRat]

There have been instances when we have played Cheat cards where we bring in an item that is otherwise against the rules for our class/race/accent to play.

We have also used a Cheat card to allow us to use items that give us a second armour, footgear, headgear, and even items that would require a third or fourth hand to use.

We have also used a Cheat card, WHILE IN COMBAT, to bring in an item for our character to use because it's strength was crucial in combat. (ie; I needed at least one more point to use to defeat a monster, I am already wearing armour, and I Cheat in a second armour to give me the additional points to use, while in combat.)

Am I using the Cheat card correctly or am I going against the rules, which I want to clarify since the card itself states that "to use an item that is otherwise against the rules."

Please help!
