What's up, RMers?

[Steel Beast 6Beets]

That's correct, the first status ailment on the database is Death/KO. Worth nothing that removing the element alignment from the skill solves the issue.

I think the only script that touches &data_states is Bearcat's Absorb, Null, and Weak Armors, specifically the System script.

Code:

=begin
#=============================================================================
#  Absorb, Null, and Weak Armors
#=============================================================================
# Bearcat
# Version 1.01
# 8.16.07
#=============================================================================
 This script allows you to make armors and states that absorb, nullify, or
 make the wearer weak to elemental damage. To set up an an armor or state,
 put the armor id and the element id in the appropriate hash in Absorb_Setup.
 
 There is no need to modify anything other than the hashes in Absorb_Setup.
 
 Free use, modification, and distribution permitted (commercial projects
 included) so long as credit is given to me, Bearcat.

Thinking about it, pretty sure I had a similar problem with another script that came into conflict with Game_Actor, hence why the default characters are still on the database of my project.
