If you misplace Signature Gear or sell it unwillingly, or an NPC steals or
confiscates it, the GM must give you an opportunity to recover it in the
course of the adventure.

If it is truly lost forever through no fault of your own, the GM will give you back your points (or replace the item with another of equal value).

However, should you sell or give away your Signature Gear of your own free will, it is gone, along with the points spent on it!

Yeah you're right, I should've consulted Basic Set before disagreeing.

I wonder how that works though... "opportunity to recover" isn't guarantee for example...

If you have that singular ("an") opportunity and fail it (ie Headley finds the thief who stole his staff, but thief escapes) does that count as "fault of your own" (you shouldn't outsmarted that thief!) and you don't get the points back?

On the other hand that's not selling or giving it away, so you wouldn't lose the points on it... it's gone but maybe you need to wait until the next "adventure" to get another opportunity to get it back?

Or perhaps rather than just dropping a replacement in your lap the GM gives you an opportunity to get the replacement and not pay points/cash for it?
