	// The script basically gets the first item in the inventory then gets what type of weapon
	// it is, if it is a weapon at all. Next I check the right hand and get the weapon in the hand
	// once I have aquired the weapon I then get its item property to determine if it is a base weapon
	// or a magical one. If its magical I set the identified property to FASLE, otherwise I leave
	// it alone. Next I cycle through the inventory items picking out the weapons and changing there
	// identity flag to FALSE if it is magical.

Description

I discovered a problem with Weapons of magical nature being auto Identified when you pick up the loot prior to it going to your inventory. The problem is that in order for a hostile mob to use a weapon the weapon need to be identified. Which mean that the STAFF OF DESTRUCTION will be identified to the player regardless of lore skill. I didnt like this so a created a script for the ondeath.

Interesting idea DM to use 2 items one idenfied and non-dropable and one not identified and dropable in the inventory. But, maybe im wrong, it doesnt work at least if the weapon is useable by the creature all weapons including those in the inventory are identified. I tested may need to run more test, but im sure of it that the weapons in the inventory and not equipped that were marked undentified became identified even when the PC was level 1 no lore skill. Hence I wrote the above script. Also it only seems to be with weapons not any other item. So if the creature is wearing a Platemail +5 and its marked as unidentified when he dies it stays as unidentified as well as rings trinkets etc. I love solving problems let me know if you experienced in your mods different. Thanks.

Looks handy. Other way to accomplish is to make the identified items non-droppable, and add in a non-identified item that will drop.

Would be nice if you revised this to include all inventory items in the check, not just weapons. Any chance of that?
