Duct tape...

[Billy Bones]

... another question.

School is back in and our band of intrepid survivors has gained 'Survival of the Fittest' and 'Zombies with Grave Weapons' over the summer.

One of the first questions that has arisen: (I searched and couldn't find an answer)

When duct tape is drawn and becomes one of the four items, it can combine two weapons, i.e. Chainsaw and Shotgun. The chainsaw and shotgun become 'stacked' and therefore takes up one weapon position. Does duct tape become one of the other four items the hero is carrying? So a hero could be carrying: gas, keys, duct tape and a chainsaw/shotgun combo?

Therefore, when a hero fights and loses, they are effectively rolling to keep the duct tape and not necessarily the weapon? Is this correct? A losing roll means the duct tape must be discarded and each weapon becomes one item again?

Thanks all!
