Thank you for this. I disassembled the great spears I had, but when I reloaded an older save, I saw that those spears were not changed. Unfortunately, the character who previously had that spear seems to be permanently screwed up. A Dragon Knight with 143 Physics doing 30 damage to goblins with a mithril club... and 3 damage bare handed. There was no visual indication of any curse on that spear, but... :P
I also had that character and another one that donned some armour that had Warlock and Vampirism on it (but no curse) start missing their combat rounds entirely. They were at the end of the action list, but just never acted, the game just went to the next round. I disassembled that fking armour as well, but it didn't help. Now when I tested after your fix they both at least act in combat, even though how the fix would affect either character I don't know. I like what was in the patch, but there are bugs somewhere under the hood.
