If you're knocked out with only one item, do you lose it?
Because of the lose half your items rounded down ruling. Does anyone know for sure? I assume the answer is no, but I hate that idea that you can run around with one item impervious to a loss of it :'/
lol, well if running around with one item and 1 sanity or stamina is your idea of a good time, I guess that's perfectly legitamate. I wouldn't reccoment it though.
I can't figure out anything in the rule books that makes it illegal
the only time it comes up in my games is when a fighter with a good weapon just keeps going to town on monsters till he resets at the hospital or asylum, rinse, repeat
it feels wrong, but you lose half your clue tokens (0/2), your retainers (don't have one) and half your items rounded down (1/2 = .5, rounds down to zero items lost), so there's nothing actually wrong with it then right?
also since you won't have encounters as long as you fight in the streets you don't have to worry about random loss and it's nearly impossible to be devoured from monster combat short of things like The Black Man.
granted all you can do is fight monsters and fingerpaint... or take up space in the ICU, but someone on the team's gotta be on monster duty so it's not a tactical black hole either
"Take it!"
"I don't want it!"
"It doesn't make sense that you would leave it behind!"
"Round DOWN! Half of one rounds down to ZERO!"
"Why are you making the game easy on me???"
"Aren't you supposed to be unconscious???"

That was my impression too
you could house rule it so that it's half your items round down, minimum 1 item if you have at least one
but you would have to house rule it to work around it

Way hardcore to the max: No board, no characters. Just monsters, dancing around in a circle with hats on.
no monsters
you fight the hats!

That is souper-hella-megasaurus hardcore right there.

::Blink blink:: actually, that would make an interesting scenario... No common or unique items being available.
You always rule NOT in favour of the Investigators. So yes, you would lose it.

I don't think that's an, official rule ;') I wish it were, and sometimes it almost feels like it is, but it's not.

No.
Some people on this board say this mantra but it's frankly absurd. It's especially absurd to use it in this case because it's a mantra used to settle disputes or situations you can't figure out the correct legal resolution. Neither of which apply in this case as - as has already been pointed out - you lose half your items rounded down, and half of 1 rounded down is 0. It's quite simple. There's no clarification needed here, no dispute, just a simple calculation.
Avi, I don't really get your aspiration for changing or putting on doubt some game rules. After all that's only a game. Relax and have fun. I see it like follows: You can't loose 1 item just because you always HAVE it. Tommy Gun with a strap around your torso, Sword of Glory is just somehow magically "sticky" to you, 1 pistol that was holstered.... A spell that was in inner pocket of the coat.
Just take it creatively, not straight-forward like "they can't loose 0 items cause it's not a lost, and if they MUST loose item, they LOOSE it cause it's realistic".
If you see it fits YOUR game, you can always just USE it. Noone can restrict you.

Yeah but if you get the crap kicked out of you and end up unconscious lying naked and bleeding in a pool of monster vomit until someone drags your bloodied, rat chewed, faeces soiled corpse to the hospital where there revive you just in the nick of time... in that case I would say that if you had one thing in your possession last you looked, you probably don't wake up with it...

::Laughter:: As for ::wiggles fingers:: casting doubt or changing game rules, I'd be fine either way with this, but I would like a definitive clarification of what happens in this case, currently it sounds like you keep half your one item, which just seems weird to me. I don't think we're going to get this in the FAQ if or when it's ever released :' because I don't think we asked it back then. Ah well.
