Attuned

Attuned

Attuned is a keyword meaning that an item can only be used by a specific character or crawler, and only after a bond has formed between the item and the character.[1]

In D&D 5e, creatures who meet an item's prerequisites can bond with the item by physically touching and focusing on it for one short rest, and will then gain an intuitive understanding of how the item functions. Creatures can only be attuned to a maximum of three (3) items a time, but can typically use any nonmagical properties of an item without attuning to it. [2]
