WTF?

No...really...it's bards and invokers. I don't think I've seen any other class run around without a weapon on.

You are entitled to your opinion. I am entitled to disagree with it.

Honestly, I wish I could do that but with the amount of other things I'm doing for Santa Zulg and the Bug board I can't work solely on this project so I'm doing it in chunks that make sense in the code. I've already sunk 15 hours into trying to get it working better than it has. Last night I worked on it for about 6 hours straight re-writing a good chunk of the code and testing it. I think I almost have the issues worked out with the code pertaining to weapons. I've got a crapload of testing left to do to make sure.
