Then would it make sense to consider the two-armed behavior a bug? Like with the centaur.

Give him a melee weapon he loses the range weapon.
Add a shield he gets it back. As reported by calmon above.
That's what I consider odd. Seems to me he should keep the ranged weapon as long as he isn't given a range weapon.
Trivial, probably. Bug? Maybe.


I'd misunderstood your consistency argument since it did not mention 4-armed specifically and it seemed to me that the discussion had moved on to include whether the two-armed behavior made sense. My apologies for that.
