1. Bug: Multi-select, multiselected creatures cannot be given any commands besides walk. Should have atleast attack, run available like in 1.06
2. Missing feature Multi select - chooser actions should affect whole selection
3. Missing feature Remote Inventory Access is not available
4. Annoyance unposessing creatures: clumsy when it is on submenu and the creatures do not have it on quickbar, requiring rightclick, click on creature commands and click on unposess. suggested fix: autoadd the unposess to the quickbar on posession and do not clear the quickbar on full posession.
5. Bug Quickslots empty when the DM possess something with full posession. Should have the DM's quick bar contents.
6. Bug Players can see the dm at times even when the dm is dm invisible. Happens with cutscene convos mostly
7. Feature request Cannot get the list of creatures selected by DM by script.(this is the multi-select)
8. DM posessed creatures are in wrong faction. They should be in the correct faction for the creature, but are neutral to PCs for actions like spellcasting by the DM and attacking.
9. Bug: Dms block pathfinding(since 1.06)
10. Missing feature Inability to select creatures from the party bar outside current area makes porting PCs difficult.
