Arkham Horror
How many hands' worth of items can you use at once on a test or action?
The rulebook's Hands section sets the two-hand limit for tests and says there is no cap on items carried.

While resolving a test you can use cards with up to two hand icons in total, so a two-handed weapon and a one-handed item cannot both be used on one test. Hands are only in use for the action or test you are taking, so an action's tests share the limit and you get them back afterward. Items used outside tests and actions can exceed it, and there is no cap on how many items you carry. For example, an investigator casting a two-handed spell cannot also use a one-handed item's bonus on that test.
