Excluding PreferredArms (-preferredarms) ONLY equalizes your chances of the classes default weapon
* There's also a universal bag chance for every class. This chance is slightly higher for female units. This chance varies from class to class, but in general this chance is around 1% (Monks have the highest chance at this, at 2.5%). This chance still exists for Chemists and Dancers, who get Bags innately, but this chance instead gives Swords (Chemist) and Knives (Dancer). Mimes are the only class that cannot Equip Bags. Instead their 'Bag Chance' gives them access to another upgraded Armor type.
*** If PreferredArms is rolled, and the class randomly rolls into this Equip skill, this weapon category will be forced. Sometimes, this will differ slightly from normal percentage values. Also, some classes simply have no forced preference (if it isn't listed under any category), and will refer to the default chance list.
