Beginner question - eliminated character and his items

[ali40thiefs]

I would like to ask what happen with the items which is bearing an charcter eliminated by combat. Can other characters take his items, or are they but in the dicard pile or ? Many thanks for advice.

The item can be transferred to any non-wounded character in the same company if there are no limitation written on the card (like 'Wizard's staff' that can be borne by a wizard only). So a 'Sword of Gondolin' in example can be used multiple times in one combat.

Exactlier ...one item....

So when the eliminated character has two items and the moment of death, it is possible to transfer only one ?

Edited. I was obviously wrong about that.

Normally, when a character leaves active play (e.g., is discarded or eliminated), all cards controlled by him are discarded. There are two major exceptions to this:

* Sometimes, the card that causes the character to leave play allows him to transfer an item(s) (e.g., Call of Home).
* If a character is eliminated due to failing a body check, one item can be immediately transferred to each unwounded character in his company: but, the rest of his items are discarded.

Annotation 22: When a character fails a body check, his items may be immediately
reassigned to unwounded characters in his company, one item per character.
Reassigning of the eliminated character's items is considered to be synonymous with
his failed body check, i.e., no action may take place between the failed check and
reassigning the items. Unassigned items are discarded.

So one item for each recipient, not one item of eliminated chcracter.
