Hmmm...random thought here...it's sorta related to the switch between dual-wielding and using a shield thing.
Have you ever played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance? It's equipment system is sort of like that, but for every equipment slot. Every character has 5 slots to equip anything in. Weapons, shields, helmets, armor, shoes, and accessories. Everything but accessories is limited to 1 per character, but you can equip anything in any slot.
For example:
Character A:
-Bronze Sword
-Iron Shield
-Steel Helm
-Gold Armor
-Diamond Greaves
Character B:
-Fire Ring
-Steel Helm
-Bronze Sword
-Ice Ring
-Thunder Ring
They can both use the same equipment, but one chose to have 3 accessories in place of a shield, armor, and shoes. And mixed up the order a little. Character B may have drastically lower defense, but they have much better elemental resistance thanks to their three different elemental rings.
And then, if someone had the Two Swords support skill and decided to dual-wield, they could, of course, equip two weapons at the same time. However, they still only had 5 equipment slots. And the weapons could be anywhere, like first and last.
So basically, FFTA's equipment method is kinda like what you did for the shield/2nd weapon slot, but applying it to everything. I'm just wondering how difficult that would be to do?
This isn't really a request, but more of a "Is this really doable with RMXP?"
