Making a Summon Equip Their Shield

Hello, I'm new to the forum and fairly new to modding Skyrim in General and I was hoping I might get some help for this issue I'm having.

 

I've added a conjuration spell that allows me to summon multiple Dremora Lords at once and I went through and gave each of the classes their own unique sets. (1h melee w/shields, 2h, archers)

 

Most of my one-handed melee class is supposed to be equipped with shields (more specifically, there's a 75% chance they'll have one) and they'll spawn with their shields equipped but as soon as they enter combat they unequip them. They just prefer to use their one-handed weapons and block with those while in combat. (checked with the showinventory console command to make sure they still had them)

 

I've tried changing their combat style but I'm really new to it. I really only messed with their offensive and defensive multipliers but I don't think that effects whether or not they actually /equip/ the shield in the first place. I've also tried adding a shield to their outfit and all that does is make them spawn with one equipped.

 

I guess what I'm asking is: Is there something I'm missing? Why aren't they using their shields in combat? I know that typically a Dremora Lord doesn't have any need for shields using a 2h by default but I've even tried making my own combat styles that favor blocking over attacking and they still choose to block with their weapons. Should I choose a different class for them? or maybe a different template to base them off of?

 

Any and all help is much appreciated. :smile:

 

Regards,

EDIT: I also forgot to mention but I made their block skill 100 just for testing so before anyone asks about skills, yes I made sure of that.

 

EDIT2: After more testing I found that they'll equip their shields during combat if I remove all other weapons from them but they won't actually fight and if they can, they'll grab a weapon from the ground and use it, of course, unequipping the shield to fight with it as per the usual.
