Game Mechanics: Humanoids (at least Priest of Discord) should equip armor / items given to them

[Tupakk]

I will in a little bit.

Thank you good sir, and be sure not to charm (unsure if he is charmable on P99). FashionQuesters of Norrath everywhere are in your debt.

Tested. It is based on faction. I used my bard and played faction song in rivervale. Teelie accepted my gear. And PoD didn’t. So I would say PoD is out unless you can raise your PoD faction.

If so, and that works for all humanoids, then this was just a bad post and can be resolved. Sorn seemed to say earlier this wasn't working, I always thought charm was needed on P99.

Charm is needed if you want the whatsits to drop whatever you've handed to them...Having anything you hand to an NPC uncharmed drop is a classic mechanic that was disabled on p99. PoD in classic would always have a ton of junk items on them when killed because people were constantly giving them stuff.

Unclear on whether or not everything wears whatever you give it. Never seen the PoD with PoD fashionquest on p99, though. I have seen Peachy with a bp and a torch in PoM that did not drop when she was killed (so some dope handed her pet items without charming her).

Thank you for your investigation my good man... a few follow up questions:

1) when you say she accepted your gear, did you mean she accepted the trade AND equipped the pieces you have her (where you visually see the armor on her)? Or just accepted trade and ate the items?
2) what was your faction at when testing on Teelie and PoD?
3) when PoD didn't accept the items, did he just give some phrase like, "i don't have any need for this" and hand the items back to you, or just eat the items and not equip?

Thanks again!

1. Yes
2. Amiable and Indif
3. Accepted and ate them.

You don’t need to charm. I think you just need to have good faction.

Could a dev confirm if handing an item to an uncharmed humanoid npc and not having them equip it if your faction is indifferent or less is working as intended?

If I'm understanding things correctly then priest of discord is dubious and eats the items, but if he accepted items in classic and equipped them, then at least dubious should equip items.

Thanks for your consideration and thanks to Tupakk for the hands on testing.
