Or even, my friend who is in my group can kill a guy and I can use the dead guy's stuff.But if my friend dies, I can't use his stuff?You had me up til then. I already do that with certain kinds of magic items. I absolutely do that with rings of regeneration - the magic of regeneration requires weeks of attunement to use it (regardless of whether you loot if off a corpse you just made dead, or find it in a tomb, or take it off of your buddy's still-warm corpse) - this way you can't have one ring of regeneration and pass it from PC to PC so that everyone can fully heal between fights.I don't mind expanding my narrow list of attunement-required magic items to cover all magic items. That would be an interesting flavor idea for a campaign world. I would work some fluff into it, that you have to name the item, and keep it next to your skin for 66 hours, and rub it daily with blood and tears (OK, I'm making this up - but there would be some kind of ritual). That might be interesting.But, I cannot see that kind of attunement rule being suspended because I happen to be in in the same group as the guy who killed and looted the magic item. That would be too weird.</blockquote>
