[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1400115, member: 939"] Just how far does the VoP go?? If the VoP character is in a life and death struggle, and is the last one standing, right in front of the beast that can only be slayed by the special magic sword, and so the other PC, with his dying breath, tosses the sword to him so he can catch it in one smooth arc, bringing it down into the beast and slaying it and saving the entire town - is that violating the VoP? He, after all, would be "borrowing" the item to kill it. Or you could just use some common sense here and see that a VoP is meant to indicate that a PC can't have / use magic items on a continuous, regular basis, but using an item now and then for one-shot deals, like with the sword or with a magic book, are not the same thing as having an item in possession - like carrying around a magic dagger that you always use in combat. (With an exception for potions, which you CAN carry around and use when needed). [/QUOTE]
