Alright that answers my question quite clearly. And I thought some one else might have asked this question in the past, but i couldn't find a current topic at this point that was discussing it, other then it being unstable. I just wanted to know.
Next question - If Creatures use the same table for there gear and such, and that is what cause some of the issues, why not just assign them a different Data base table, wouldn't that solve a bit of the problem? I also asked, not cause of changing stats on items, but implementing custom items if you add a new item, it often times would be simple just to reset and it wouldn't effect anything but adding the new item to the item_template area.
Again, I am a bit of a newbie to some of this, so if my suggestions are just blatantly not possible let me know,but i am just trying to puzzle it out.
