No, in your first post, you said that weapons shouldn't be allowed. Weapons provide bonuses to Combat checks, but not to Fight checks. A Combat check in which weapons or spells are not allowed is a de facto Fight check.
In a later post, you say, "you need to pass will instead of combat"
So no, you weren't describing a Combat check.
You are aware that a Fight check is different from a Combat check, right? If you want to have a Combat check that is based on Will instead of Fight, that's one thing. If you want to remove the Combat check and replace it with a Will check, then that's something else. There are important differences between the two approaches.
It sounds like you're going back and forth between two concepts, perhaps without realizing it. At one point, you say, "you need to pass will instead of combat." Then later, you say, "I was describing the modified combat check." So, if a Will check replaces a Combat check, then there is no Combat check, modified or otherwise. Because it's been replaced. But if Will *is* the Combat check, then the Combat check is still there, but in a modified form.
Okay, good. I like that you're following the wording on the Dark Pharaoh chit. Just so we're clear, with the current wording, combat weapons and spells are allowed.

The Black Man is defeated without a combat check
"Before making a Horror check, pass a Luck (-1) check or be devoured. If you pass, gain 2 Clue tokens. In either case, return the Black Man to the cup."
By the way, this isn't official, but it seems that "defeat" means "pass a combat check against." So, if you don't pass a combat check against a monster, it's not defeated. It's discussed here:

Yes, the technical term "defeat" means "pass a combat check against." I think Veet meant "defeat" in the more general definition though.
And tread carefully with MyNeighbor. His posts resemble those of a certain returning forum member that we may all recall. So, keep that in mind.
Tibs: Suddenly, we're playing Battlestar Galactica (or Shadows Over Camelot; I haven't actually played Battlestar, but I know the concept, and thought people here would be more likely to get the reference). Oh, and while I'm making references...I'm sorry, but I've been considering making this particular one for a while, and I can't quite resist: Tibs knows the forum. Tibs is the forum. Tibs is the key and guardian of the forum. Past, present, future, all are one in Tibs. He knows where the trolls broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have flamed Arkham's boards, and where They still flame them, and why no one can behold them as They flame.

Yeah, that occurred to me.

Hm.
I certainly hope not.

Syntax doesn't conform to past incarnations.
I know, I thought of that as well. But people are capable of learning from their mistakes, for better or for worse.
Or, certain discouraging behaviors are endemic across the web and some people need to LURK MORE.

What are you talking about?

That one's one of my personal favorites.

Hi! 2 Year Arkham addict but new to this Forum (can't find a 'New Members' page to say Hi)
Never had a male character 'delayed' by Child of the Goat (except Joe Diamond once) it's always the females who succumb to her cultish charms...
Same with "The World Ain't Big Enough For Us" Relationship card- always 2 dudes or 2 ladies...
