Animators causing TP loss on equip/unequip

[Kristal]

Whenever an animator is equipped or unequipped, it causes the player to lose all TP. This is a normal effect found on (un)equiping any kind of weapon (melee or ranged), but NOT on non-weapon equipment such as bard instruments or Fishing Rods.

Animators do NOT deal ANY damage (like instruments), nor does any of their 'ammo' (like fishing bait), so it serves no purpose. In fact, despite having the 2nd best Throwing Skill rating in the game, PUP can not equip even a single throwing weapon or somehow use said skill in any capacity on the automaton, but that's a different issue.
