That's funny. When you were talking about this originally, the spell channeling thing was something i was going to mention, but forgot to. Spell channeling was definitely not around during the time when this script was written, so I'd totally be amazed if it actually worked. Probably wouldn't be too hard to make the script work with it, but sadly I don't have an OSI account to test with anymore. I don't know if normally the bow de-equips when you use your fishing pole for example and if that would automatically de-equip the bow. I just don't remember those mechanics since they were always different depending on OSI or a freeshard.
Anyhow, glad you got it mostly sorted out. Now if only Crisis can get so far!
