And why is this bad ? Equipping/unequipping shield took 3 turns last time I checked. Look what a big can of worms it is. That would be adding 6 turns to the butchering process, enough for a centaur pack to show up and perforate you.

I think what Zao is trying to say is that the autopickup feature should take "equipability" into account, i.e. if you've been using a halberd for butchery all the time and then put on a shield, if you aren't carrying any 1-handed butchery item you should autopickup the first one you come across.

The restriction itself is fine, of course.

Right. I'm fine with not being able to automagically take off a shield.

It's the bit that auto-pickup is satisfied as soon as you have anything bladed that bothers me.

jpeg: ok, I misread. But the FR's title is certainly misleading ! I paid more attention to the title and didn't read the rest *very* carefully.

No more autopickup of bladed weapons.
