My character died on a quest. She was DM raised from the fugue (after some heavy DM action had happened in the quest area). When I took her things from her bag that was in the ground, there were two items there that she did not have before she died. A drow helm and a commoner's outfit. Obvious bug, I believe.

I had something similar happen. Died on quest, a raise that involved a DM somewhere along the line. When I eventually plowed my way back to my character's belongings everything I had was there, as well as some armor called 'Smokey Scales'.

Hey, I've seen those "smokey scales" before too. Don't know if you're the bloke I got resurrected Partisan Spades (I'm Benito Delgado) but that fellow found "Smokey scales" in his pack afterwards. We thought, at the time, that it might have been dropped by the character that looted him.

This is an extremely peculiar bug.

Has anybody observed any patterns in how these new items appear?

Hmm, I was decked in the same sitting as Josi, and nothing out of the ordinary appeared in my bag. So, no.

This may have been related to the issues with the Pickpocket script. In either of these instances, is it possible that there were there similar items missing?

(Some other helm disappeared and replaced with the drow helm, or some other suit of armor disappeared and replaced with the Smokey Scales, for example.)

Has this occured at all recently?

I suspect that this was caused by issues with our pickpocket script, which has since been disabled.

Should this issue crop up again, start a new thread for the new reports.
