Mercenary's "Doom" Giant Thresher

[Jeunemaitre]

One other thing to consider is the requirements of the weapon. I've had a similar problem with the strength requirement for a suit of armor that my merc was wearing... One of the mods on his weapon granted +5 to strength, giving him enough strength to wear this piece of armor, however, without the weapon equipped, the armor remained in pictorial place, but its defense disappeared from his stats on the merc version of the lying character screen. I had to replace the weapon, then pick up the armor and set it down again to get the defense bonus back...

Application of theory: if your merc's weapon requirements (strength or dexterity) are only met by adding in bonuses from other items, depending on the order of equipment that takes effect when he is reincarnated, you may have to pick some things up and put them down again to regain the bonuses they offer.

Hope this helps...
