yes he reacts pretty much the way any other poser does, you can pose him animate him give him props,.. bring the sword in, get it as close to his hand as you can then switch the camera to his hand view, then move the sword in position, then pose the hand then parent the sword to his hand. As far as animating him someone else needs to answer that- my animations always look like they are walking on land mines ;P i have some very acrobatic posers ;P
