Here's a script I made that simulates this. It defines a class (Game_ActorEnemy) that derives from Game_Actor and describes enemies with the characteristics of actors. The trick here is that when a new enemy is created, it actually returns a Game_ActorEnemy object, instead of a Game_Enemy object (look at the bottom of the script). Thus, the enemy object would have the same methods that actors have (for example, "weapons", "equips", "skills", and so on.)
Put the script below all others in the Materials section of the script editor. Look at the bottom of the script for ACTORENEMIES, where you can see how to customize it.
The code is below. Please notify me if there are errors.
