You sure? I've been using Lamia Queens' shapechanging ability to get cursed items off them. Specifically give Armour of Twisting Thorns (or something, the blood/nature bonus armour) to one, have her cast spells you need, shapechange her into a snake (in province with a lab), ta-da, the cursed item is in the lab. Works like a charm also with cursed weapons.

I have had commanders that shapechange in combat lose their items. Or at leat I think I have. After the first time it happened, I started being pretty careful not to let it happen again.

Just to make sure I wasn't misunderstood, I did mean to talk about shapechanging out of the battle, not in. From what I've seen (playing Machaka makes you see this often) I'd think items lost in in-battle shapechanging are considered the same as items carried by dead commanders. Random retrieval and so on.

I'm not sure but there may have been (is still?) some bug with healing limbs and losing helmets and such that shouldn't be affected. I think I had this Natty with 3 arms left wearing a helmet who got healed by a priestess and he automatically dropped his helmet into lab during host...
