I'll be frank, While I Agree from an IC standpoint, Mechanically speaking and how literally everything else in SL2 works? It really doesn't need to be.

You can just flavor it with RP without needing to mechanically have them gone.

Theft, death, injury and all the good juice is just as well waved with RP not with a Mechanic it depends on what your RP partner is up to and allowing.(well I guess technically we have one armed trait now)
I rather max 3 characters out than get 5 times the right spirit, simply because of how stupidly RNG they are.

Not saying I am against it entirely, but if we open this floatgate, then we better actually get actual thieving perks and stuff, or make death actually meaningfu. But I assume most people would not be too happy about that.
