At the end of their last session, one of my PCs finished going off the deep end to wendigo psychosis. While they rested at the inn, he coup de grace'd and ate another PC and then flew off into the sky. My question is how much equipment would you take along? They decided to go ahead with the true resurrection, so if all the stuff were gone, that would be pretty punitive.
I'm currently thinking the equipment he would have on while sleeping and drop the weapon after finishing the kill. So ultimately just the stat increase items. What does the community think?
I imagine unless it was strapped to him a wendigo isn't taking anything along.
What was the tone of the campaign immediately before they were resting? Were the PC's afraid of being attacked in the inn? I've always played that sleeping in a bed means I wouldn't wear all of my adventuring equipment. The idea of wearing all that equipment 24/7, in a safe, warm bed just doesn't make sense.
As far as the weapon: He had to drop it to feast on the corpse...so there is that.
Armor: I doubt someone would wear armor when sleeping in a bed.
Outerwear (cloak, boots, hats): Probably would be taken off.
Maybe belts/rings/amulets/shirt would be left on. Roll % dice for each?

You don't understand adventurers very well, do you?
They are a strange and mentally twisted breed. And above all else- paranoid.
They wear everything to bed if they can. In case of assassins. Or in this case-wendigos.
So unless there is a mechanically compelling reason (medium/heavy armor causing fatigue) they never remove anything.

Most of my group are military (current or former) or police. So most of us have had to sleep in kevlar/spend all day in body armor...That shit isn't comfortable...and its like a sweatshirt compared to medieval armor. It's one thing to wear it out on the road, in the field and another in the safety of a bedroom.

And you know what else is uncomfortable?
Not going to the bathroom for the several years taht a campaign can span.
I never said that this armor thing was a natural thing to do. Or a healthy thing. I said 'adventurers', not 'mercenaries', 'soldiers', etc. No, I view adventurer as less of a professsion, and more as a subtype, much like those various creature subtypes that remove the need to eat, sleep or breathe.
They were pretty sure it was all clear for the time being. In fact, they had noticed that he was leering at them hungrily but assumed it would be resolved now that the wendigo was dead. That was just the last day it needed to complete the transformation.
I'll think about it, but this has been helpful in determining that I'm not crazy about taking the equipment with him, so I'll either fiat it or get a reasonable list of what he definitely had on. Thanks!
