The issue is, when any of the mana based weapons for this class run out of mana, it will autoswitch to the Hammer of Retribution in that slot. I am using the base game classes in addition to this class. I notice this functions perfectly fine when the "nra" cheat isn't used. But this happens when nra is used. Is there any way to stop it from doing this when the nra cheat is used.

Any help, greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The way Hexen weapons are set up is that each class-specific weapon is forbidden to the other two classes (e.g. cleric's weapons are forbidden to fighters and mages). Being a custom player class, yours is exempt from any of these restrictions, and thus can receive and use all of the classes' weapons.

Since you apparently want your class to use the Cleric's weapons, you could try subclassing it from ClericPlayer instead of PlayerPawn. Provided that the inventory restriction mechanism takes inheritance into account, it should solve your problem by making other weapons inaccessible to your player class.
