In the latest answers to some post Dragon2k said something like this:

"the best weapons for a ninja are the Light Sword and Cane of Corpus (Faeries only), . as for secondary weapons .......Thieve's Dagger (there's a trick to it) & and Sai." Is that mean my ninja can use thieves dagger?? How to obviate proffesion restriction?? Maybe change ninja-->thief (equip dagger) and thief--->ninja?? Is that works??

    • Nope - not in Wiz 8,Llevram, 06:23 AM, Sep-02-04

the thieve's Dagger is cursed, so it will remain equipped after a class change. Cursed is not a bad thing in and of itself, it just means your stuck with it without a remove curse spell.

nice thx.....I always had a problem with off hand weapon for my FN ....now problem is solved (hope that there is no restrictions in race

nope. TD is usable by all races, but just class specific to whom can equip it, last is to be read very literally. once it is equipped, you can change class, and due to its curse, it will remain equipped. cursed just means it can't be removed easily.
just don't remove it until you have a replacement, like a Rod of Sprites or something, as you will lose the secondary attack(s) if you have no secondary weapon equipped. they apparently didn't realize you can punch with your left hand alone.

I remember doing the reverse in W-7 so my Faerie could keep the Cane and be other classes, and/or so non-heavies could wear Divinemail, but all the cursed items in W-8 drop off if i change class. Though i haven't tried it with a TD yet...is it bugged? (i know about the drop/pick up bug with TD)

I had read this thread before, and didn't think a thing of it ... thinking the talk was Wiz 7. You can't exloit this bug in Wiz 8.
