15th Character Workaround

Oh, they wouldn't be unequipped, I'd keep them unable to have their equipment changed. My idea for the General Leo revival would use the Phoenix magicite, so it'd be pretty late into the World of Ruin and I'd be comfortable giving him top-tier equipment to be useful into the end game, as he won't be acquired early enough to be overpowered. EDIT - That is to presume, if I add Leo to the party using my intended method, he'll stay unable to have his equipment changed?

I'll look into the Guest Adder patch, thanks. I've no intent to make Banon playable too though, just Leo. Guess I'll have to test how that affects things.
