A question that came up during the shopping phase last night I would like to pose to you fellow Descent players. There is a handbow item that is a trinket/other item in the shop deck that was drawn and it can be used to make a ranged attack with. The guy playing Silhouette wanted to buy this and thought it would add to her Hero ability which states "Each time you perform an attack and roll an X result, choose 1 monster adjacent to you. That monster suffers (hearts) equal to 1 plus the number of weapons you have equipped." He thought it would be considered a weapons and then make the ability be able to go up to 4 damage as he had two one handed weapons already equipped. As the OL, I naturally playfully argued and said this is not a weapon but a trinket and there fore would not count towards that ability. The argument back was that on Silhouette's ability it says equipped weapons and not 'weapon cards' and since it can be used to attack with, it's a weapon. Also to back his claim, the handbow card says "you may only perform 1 attack with this weapon each turn", thus identifying it as a 'weapon' in the text.Any thoughts?
