iBase Modern Approach to Basic RP > Combat | DM / Character | Equip
Technically, there is no limit on magic items in iBase (reflecting the original rules). Attunement is required for all magic items to be able to employ their properties. Attunement of Magic Items in iBase requires the character to purposefully use the item. This at least allows them to gain passive bonuses (such as “+1”), but also triggering any curses, negative enchantments, etc. Swords must be wielded and swung, armor worn, etc. The item is “claimed” by the character and bound to them (this takes 1 round) until they are separated for a week or the owner dies. They cannot ‘loan’ magic items and pass them around inside a party. One character can bequeath the item to another but it takes both to touch the item simultaneously and a full day before the new owner can Attune it. It does not reveal item properties – this requires the process of Identification of Magic Items in iBase.
