[QUOTE="Pandaemoni, post: 6843514, member: 6689321"] I would never retcon a situation like this. First, I am not sure that this was an unfair gotcha. I might have called for a wisdom check or something, but the players were told that the armor, gauntlets and ring were an integrated set. I am uncertain why they thought they could sell the armor but keep those items in light of that. I feel quite certain that if a merchant sold my party armor that had integrated magic items...and then he later came back and claimed it was a mistake, we'd feel strongly that a deal is a deal. Second, and more importantly, rather than retcon, you can redirect. For example, have the blacksmith come to them in a panic and offer to give them the Gauntlets and rings if they will help him find his daughter, who's gone missing. Or, when the players go to steal the ring and guantlet, they find the blacksmith, dead, the armor (guantlets, rings and all) gone...and so now they have a murder to solve and if they can find the murderers, they can find their items.
