Getting an Actor from an MWClass?

As the title says, how would I get an object of class MWClass::Actor from a MWClass?

That makes no sense. What are you trying to do exactly? Perhaps you're looking for MWWorld::Ptr::getClass()?

So I have a MWWord::Ptr which points to an NPC, and I need to get the AiCombatStorage of the actor.

Ok, and why are you trying to do that?

Have you heard of the XY problem?

I'm trying to fix bug 3935 which entails getting mStrength from an AiCombatStorage in character.cpp

That sounds like a wrong way to do it. The AI should call the character controller, not the other way around.

So how should I pass mStrength to CharacterController::updateWeaponState()?
