Making this a separate thread since this is a design issue rather than a bug. Basically, the equipment tab of the mod overrides "start with" settings of the scenario, so if you have your own pawn preset but want to start with a scenario that someone else made, the equipment tab will happily override whatever the scenario is supposed to start you with. There's no toggle or anything, the only way to deal with this is manually set the equipment tab with scenario items, one by one.

My only question is: why? Why in the god's divine everloving ♥♥♥♥ would you make it like this?
