You must not have looked hard because there are like 3 threads on this. Only the active PC is going to make the check to defeat the Bane unless there is two check separated by THEN. In that case, the active player has to make at least 1 check but any other PC at that location can make the other. Any order.
Second, you can't play cards that effect YOUR check if you are not the active PC. Third, the active PC can only use 1 card to set the check [melee, ranged, attack etc]. Technically, I guess you could play a second but that would negate the earlier card. Any other PCs can play cards to change the roll for the check, but only 1 card type at a time and again, it cannot be to change the check roll.
So, NO, you cannot play another weapon on the active PCs check unless it has some kind of modifier that doesn't involve the type of check.

Some examples of assisting another player's check:
- Play a Blessing
- Cast a Spell such as Strength which boosts a character's attribute
- Use and Item or Ally that does not specify "you" or "your"
- Use a Weapon which calls out assisting a character at another location like longbow, shortbow or crossbow (and their magic varieties).
- Use a Power like Valeros' adding 1d4 to a combat check for another character at your location.
Hope this helps.
A good rule of thumb is that if a card says "a check" (specifically notice the "a"), that stands for "A"nyone "A"nywhere. ;)
Most the time, unless the card says otherwise. Casting a Strength spell on "a" friend won't help if he's using Ranged combat for example.
Yes.
Each recharge 'check' is a separate entity so your choice of what card types/powers to use for it is reset each time. E.g. if you have 3 cards to recharge you can use one blessing on each.
So if it's PC A turn and has to do a check. PC B can assist with e.g. a spell to boost/modify/etc the check. Then PC B can play (a) card(s) to try to recharge the spell.
Can PC C assist him, giving it's not even PC B's turn?
Yes, C can help B. Whose turn it is actually doesn't matter that often (only when the card/power specifically limits you).

Co-Op Golden rule: 1 card type and 1 PC ability per PC per checkMan the rules are tough to comprehend for not native English speakers :-)
So if it's PC A turn and has to do a check. PC B can assist with e.g. a spell to boost/modify/etc the check. Then PC B can play (a) card(s) to try to recharge the spell.
Can PC C assist him, giving it's not even PC B's turn?
And all this assisting goes with your "Co-Op Golden rule"?
Thanks for all your feedback guys, really appreciated!
Remember the only limitations are what the cards or abilities say. If the card says, "your check", then you wouldn't be able to use it to help someone. If your ability says, "someone else's check" you would be able to use it to help yourself, but can help others.
Too many people are trying to add limitations that aren't there because one card says this or one ability says that. Each card and each ability is it's own separate rule. Try to not carry over assumptions from one card/PC to another.
