[QUOTE="Hammerhead, post: 2633328, member: 73"] Dude, whatever you do, don't follow that second option. First of all, by having a high level NPC rescue the ex-PC whenever he's in trouble, you create a precedent for the party to expect rescue as well. Second, summoning the Planar Ally is probably more costly than the guy's items. Third, using a high-level NPC to essentially bully the party is immature and will breed resentment. I would be angry at any DM who sends in angels to take away "my" property. The point of this game is to have fun, right? You're gaming with friends, right? Don't try to "teach your players a lesson." I'd approach them, explain that you screwed up by allowing the old PC to transfer items to new PC, and tell them that kind of thing won't fly in the future. The player might be convinced to give the old items back, or he might not. But it's just a couple of magic items and shouldn't cause you this much trouble. [/QUOTE]
