So you could set up a Touch trigger, attuned to yourself and everyone currently in the party, and add a password for anyone you hand it to. You could even skip the password, and have it not trigger for anyone you specifically hand it to, and attune it to a specific list of individuals. I'd want the exact trigger-condition phrasing a bit in advance, though, so I can adjucate it, and warn you if some particular funciton isn't on the list of possibles.

Would this trigger condition work?
Quote:
If the object upon which the symbol is placed is touched, check to see if toucher is specifically sanctioned by the caster, either through means of a password or by the caster's willing presence. If toucher is not sanctioned, the spell is triggered. Otherwise, remain untriggered.

Hmm, hard to phrase those...

Even my cat can tell the difference between someone wanting to be somewhere and not, and by D&D mechanics, she'd have the intellect of a trap (or thereabouts). It's not really very hard to tell, and generally, if someone is unconcious, it's either very special circumstances (tooth removal, etc) or they don't want to be there.

Ah, but a cat is Int 2; I think of spells more like computer programs (Int -, like most constructs). Willing is actually a very high-level concept, by definition existing in the mind of the person the person in question - which isn't observable (however, straining muscles are, as is rapid back-and-forth movement, a pinning condition, open eyes, wounds, et cetera; but the spell can't just assume that's the kind of thing you are looking for....). That clause is not valid for the spell. Replacing "Sanctioned" with "attuned" (definined in the spell - declared at casting) is valid, but the Symbol doesn't magically know who you have sanctioned or not, with another definition of the word.
Also, I'll want a specific list of those for whom you are attuning it when you cast the spell.
