maybe npc characters like graal currently has, but with bodies and heads to swap between, the character code in the level editor would have to be edited to suit more than human scripts however.

as for weapons, you could have halbreds, clubs, katanas, bastard swords, broad swords, nodachis (sp?), katanas, etc. but as an even better thing, you could craft them and name the weapon yourself, adding to customization. same with armours, you could have rare metals contributing to the strength of the armour.
