Re: Items lost when a comamnder dies in a fort w/l
And are you quite sure you want the item back when its recent owner was killed by the item or at least as a result of it? E.G. Items that give a horror mark. In this case the horror shows up, zaps the item holder and (presumably) takes the item back to... wherever it is Horrors "live"...
EG #2: Fever Fetish and other diseasing items. As it stands it's a lot of micromanagement pulling the thing off guy just before he dies. Instead you get to use it again no questions asked? I don't think so.
I could live with a limited chance (50% baseline: -2% for each magic level required to forge and -12% for each 2 levels of Construction research necessary to learn to make the thing, for instance).
Uniques should NEVER be recoverable though. No way in anyone's realm. Also no chance of recovery if the item was responsible for the holder's death.
