Game Items that can be equipped.
This pattern is a still a stub.
Contents
Examples
The Left 4 Dead series series allows players to hand over health pills, pipe bombs, and other secondary items to each other to ensure that the group as a whole is most adequately equipped.
Using the pattern
Enforced Ownership may at first seem to be fully incompatible with Transferable Items. This is however not the case since the enforcement may only hinder transferral to certain other Characters - World of Warcraft for example lets "soulbound" Game Items be sold to Non-Player Characters or Self-Service Kiosks. This still makes it impossible for other players to access the Game Items since they cannot be sold, and the design solution is effectively a case of Game Element Removal to create a Faucet/Sink system.

Enabling Transferable Items is most easily done through letting Agents drop Game Items, possibly as Pick-Ups. Other solutions are implementing support for Trading or Stealing as possible game actions.
