Yuck! What in the name of god happened to all your carriage returns?

It sounds like the weapons are being restricted so he can't get them.
What's the attribute you're using for that? It'll be ityp, irac or ireg.

I wish I knew! Sorry about that, they were there when I typed the message,
and I've put them in above for reference if you need them.

>It sounds like the weapons are being restricted so he can't get them.

I don't have any ityp, irac or ireg listed for either him or his weapons
(I'm not even sure I know what those are anymore, since it's been months
since I originally did this file - I'd have to pull out my manual). What I
listed above is literally all of the stats for everything, with the single
exception of a few notes/comments.

Any other thoughts?

Debbie

Are you sure the 'Weapon' category has the abbreviation 'weap'?
Obviously it sounds logical, but it could be some other category.

Add the Headless Horseman and click the * button to see what magic items
he can take. Go to whatever category the sword and pumpkin should be in
- are they there?

He's designated as a Special Character, right? Well, that means that he
doesn't automatically get access to the special item groups. So, you have
to specifically give him that access. Use the "spec" attribute to
officially give your character access to the magic item categories that the
two itesm belong to.

Thanks, Rob

I thought I did that with spec:+weap-mode=pgc (for the sword) and
spec:+ench-mode=pgc (for the pumpkin). Am I missing something?

I've gone back and checked the printout I did originally of all the
Warhammer abbreviations. *sigh* I'll have to double check that it wasn't
changed in the new datafile... didn't even think of that.

>Add the Headless Horseman and click the * button to see what magic items

It says: Regiment 'Headless Horseman' cannot currently be given any Magic
Item.

Is my format on spec wrong? I tried to edit it to what looks like a changed
format, but I get errors when I try to save it, so I haven't changed it from
my v1.4 format.

Ooops. Sorry, I should have read things a little more closely. I've been
swamped, so I answered too quickly.

Have you verified that the unit has a value for the allowed # of items that
is equal to 2 or greater?

Thanks, Rob

What's the number in the '# items' box? I.e., is it 0?

No, it looks right.

Ooops. Now I'm the one who feels silly. That was the problem. Thanks for
