If an enemy has a wooden sword (through Set var _MySword = 1), it loses it when on oremites, which shouldn't happen. This also applies to the default Soulless.

The help docs say this affects enemy appearance only. Enemies don't have equipment, it comes without properties, putting a swordsman on oremites doesn't lower its attack, for example. Then again, Metal is a property that needs to be added.

While looking at the help docs, I noticed that it refers you to the equipment page and says the id numbers match the appearance on this page ... but I updated the page and reordered them all when adding the new weapons, oops. So I'll need to fix that.

I would be OK with updating this (and setting it to the staff also not removing the weapon) but don't know if this would have any impacts in existing published works, especially if we update the default monster too. We'd need to do a demo reverification test run I think.

Swordsman and custom enemy with RBS won't block beams with their sword either. Adding beam blocker behavior does nothing as mentioned in the help docs. So this would be another default weapon behavior that an enemy cannot have.

I bet giving any enemy the staff both causes it to lose its weapon on oremites and also detonate kegs pushed into it.

I guess this is a can of worms we're opening now.

Yes, it does.

Enemies with the briar hacker and spear can't cut briar and tarstuff, but you can give them the "Briar cutter" and "Cut tarstuff anywhere" properties, and no enemy has these weapons by default, so that's not a huge issue.
