Finding items left behind

Post by Namic » Sat Nov 16, 2013 10:07 pm

So wandering through the Underdark and come across items left behind. Alot of things that wouldnt be just left behind on purpose what is the general rule as to items left behind? 30 minutes as if you take a item from a person, leave it be, or finders keepers?

The official rules are outlined here, but if the prevailing opinion differs then we could discuss changes.

Personally I find that letting people know via the note board or in groups is a good way to see their things back to them. Since space is finite for most players, I usually give it one month rl and then find a use for the item or give it to someone deserving.
Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.
