Can you add a weapon item's dice when defending against an attack?

Question

Accepted Answer

No. A weapon adds its bonus only when you are the one attacking. Non-weapon items such as the Idol are not covered by that restriction, and players generally allow them on defence, with the Idol's once-per-turn limit counted from one of your turns to the next.
