Since Minor Animation still gives the product of a living, breathing thing - would it be possible for them to hold items in their hands or remove armor for bandaging?

Being able to hold something would be especially useful when it comes to arming themselves.

I believe this has been answered in another post but I'll go ahead and answer your questions. There are a few things you need to know about minor animates.

#1 Minor animates will automatically grab the weapon they had before being animated, once they stand up, and if the weapons are still in the room with them. So for example, if you animated a robber with a mace. All you need to do is wait in that room with the mace till the robber regains enough strength to stand or drag the robber to another room, animate him there, and be sure to have his mace on the ground.

#2 You can bandage anyone in armor as long as they are non-hostile and laying down. It's hard to monkey with armor as they are standing about. To do this with minions, simply use the MINION LAY command.

#3 Once a Rook acquires the possession ability, equipping and un-equipping animates becomes very easy.

Awesome, thank you for the quick response and apologies if I made double the work. I only saw an old post about equipping minions that did not get an answer regarding how to get them a weapon.
