This line confused me a bit. ( i guess this is the day i get confused by everything Andrew says :P)

So if you are a professor and you have an investigator only weapon, can you equip it but not receive its bonus?

Then, you get a schizo madness and in battle you are an investigator, are you now able to use the previously useless weapon, or were you never able to equip it in the first place?

Since you can't change your equipment in battle, I'd figure an investigator only weapon in your inventory turned sideways would be unequipped and useless.
