throwing weapon AND shield? why not?

[Bearhugger]

if marnid has only throwing stones in his inventory and a shield (but no valid close combat weapon to equip), he will only equip the stones, but not the shield.
i dont know about other throwing weapons, it might be the same problem...

i just saw that it also appears when other close combat weapons are present.
i think it might be because enemies that use rocks never have a shield also (river pirates).

should be easy to fix, armagan? r0xx0r

I think this is an AI issue with rocks...i give him javalins and 'sometimes' he has a shield out with them too(only if he had a sword and shield out first) i haven't tried the rocks since giving him the javalins.

On the other hand the AI for marnid aint that bad either, he chooses swords for up close and personal, lance for IF he has a run up and long range weaons and stays outta range when...ummm...outta range...hehe.

This might be a small AI fix(i dont know about coding so it might be a big thing still) which will hopefully be addressed.

thank you for bringing this issue up so it can be seen.
