Should Edwin and Dynaheir be able to use Rasaads monk gear? (spoiler)

The EE team has obviously spent some serious time and effort rewriting all the item descriptions so that they are accurate. But if you look at the 'usable by' list for Rasaads boots, the Moonlight Walkers and the guantlets you get at his quest end, the Glimmering Bands, it seems like Edwin and Dynaheir should be able to use them.

The descriptions are the same for both. First it says human (check), then any good or lawful alignment (check), then monk OR mage (check). Now it makes sense to me to have monk-only gear in the game, but why tease us with 'mage' at the end of the 'usable by' list?

    I thought it was specifically Lawful Good characters.... so a Lawful Good mage should be able to wear it..

    Just went and checked and it does list all the good alignments and Lawful Evil and Lawful Neutral... Very odd... I've heard Lawful Good mages can put it on though, but haven't tested it.

    It actually lists all 5 alignments separately. I tested with Dynaheir (Lawful Good) and got 'Cannot use item'. I assume it would be the same with Edwin.

    The Usable by/Not usable by lists are actually computer generated—and currently bugged. This is already in the tracker, so you don't need to make another report.

    Rasaad's gear is for LG monks only.

    Which begs the question… what lawful good monk would take Rasaad's boots from their rightful owner?

    I mean, I haven't played with Rasaad yet, but surely at no point does he implore his fellow lawful good monk CHARNAME to "take my boots… please!"

    Wouldn't the lawful good monk CHARNAME bury a valiantly deceased Rasaad with his boots still on?

    They should be made Rasaad-only, to keep all lawful good monk CHARNAMEs free of temptation.

    My "Lawful Good" CHARNAME monk would murder Rasaad for his boots.... if I ever made one :P

    Of course, I always murder Rasaad except the one time I took him into my party.... Just to make him stop spamming "I will show you justice"

    Its not necessary to murder Rasaad to get them. You can't help it if he dies in battle.
