Giant Eagle feathers. The horn of a night troll broodmother. A tiger bone scepter. A Giant Jaguar's skull (which I drink the blood off of. Mandatory).

All these too can be your weapons, if you used SPESHUL UN-ALMEMD KOMBEHT

I usually prefer a heavily-decorated longsword held in both hands. My latest adventurer, however, wields a sword made from wyvern bone.

I always start with a warhammer, then support it with a shortsword in my off-hand.  More recently, I've started using necromancer slabs as weapons, since I found out that they can be multigrasped.

Post by: Corai on April 25, 2012, 02:30:59 pm
Honorable weapons, no warhammers for me. I use a divine blade to cleave my unholy foes to shreds.

TL;DR, Longswords.

Coins make awesome projectiles if you leave a stack of them out in evil cloud dust. The whole stack gets covered at once, they transfer the syndrome even if they pass right through, and they weigh very little. They don't work on anything wearing clothes, however (use arrows for that).
So, yeah, a stack of 2000 copper coins covered in vile ash that makes you vomit blood to death is my signature weapon. Custom profession: Dark Meteorologist

I normally wield swords when I'm not feeling insane (not often) and I decorate it until the decorations take up a whole page of their own on the description page. This only happens after a year or so, but SO worth it. Also, MINING PICKS.

Recently I have entered business in the field of enforced dentistry - I strangle a random peasant unconscious, pinch out all his teeth, and forcibly implant them into the limbs of passersby.

Other than that I am a swordsdwarf who enjoys chopping people's legs off at the hip before beheading them.
Title: Re: What is your signature weapon?A veritable hail of lances and pikes, especial
Post by: DrKillPatient on April 28, 2012, 01:38:48 am
As I've been using throwing characters recently, I often introduce myself with a veritable hail of lances/spears/pikes. I've been able to get 10+ stuck in someone due to getting several successive nonlethal hits (although their combined weight didn't slow the person down, oddly). I also permit myself to use edged weapons to sever limbs in order to throw them at other enemies later on, or to dual-wield a high-ranking individual's arms as melee weapons. I've yet to test the coin-bag/waterskin bludgeoning tactic.

When I first started Adventurer mode I would use an axe. When the axe got stuck, I would just club the person to death with my shield.

Now, I usually try to find the heaviest thing nearby and chuck it at people. Usually it's a metal chest, a book, or an animal's corpse.

I'm talking, of course, about chainsaw-chucks.  Dual-wielded, naturally.  And hell, why not make em out of adamantium.  Anyone within five feet of the wielder would disappear in a cloud of dwarven engineering and increasingly small pieces of gore.

Bayonetta could pull it off.  But, I digress.  Yeah, I thought about that, but there are much worse practical problems with this weapon than that.  I figure if you're wielding that you're either dwarfy enough to ignore the problems and make it work regardless, or you just don't care and want to go out in a gib-filled shower of awesome.

My Minotaur Outsider uses his enemies as weapons.

Most of what attacks him are Kobolds and Goblins, which are about 1/4 his size, so he can literally grab them with two fingers, and throw them across the screen; often colliding with other enemies, causing gore explosions.

I have an affinity for Scimitars.  I know they're not different from other swords, but it just feels like they're better at separating head from body.  Seriously, I've had a few adventurers just cleave through bandits using just an iron scimitar.

I threw a dragon corpse at a living dragon (caused a bruise) and then reanimated the dragon, all while sneaking. Zombie versions of animals are much more powerful so it ended very quickly. As for weapons, I like the large dagger you start with.

I (somehow) wield a marble coffin that i fill with the corpses of all I have slain (to make an already heavy object even heavier) in one hand, and the other holds a book made out out of fucking platinum. The book can crush skulls, and the coffin grows ever stronger and now that is has a few dead dragons in it, it sends people flying a mile backwards to explode in a pile of gore. Gore which I then place into the coffin, increasing its weight and power.

Throwing spears

I've taken a penchant to hunting Elephants as a human outsider with my bare hands. It's quite fun. A single throwing spear is the only weapon I need to slow it down first, before the punches start flying.

Behold elephants! My naked fury is unrivaled!

My feet have been my most reliable weapon. If only I could get switchblade toes for the occasional stabbing and slashing that needs to be done. If I ever lost my feet, I'd have to learn necromancy so I could keep them as my traveling companions. I will walk the earth with my feet! I'm already a Legendary Crutcher, so they'd have to keep up with me.

Haha, I wish Akura, I wish.  So far, despite my best efforts, that particular adventurer has been hit twice, total and they were both bruises.  He has a 200+ kill streak going.  I don't even sneak anymore, its much cooler to dodge five arrows while walking slowly.  And when the bogeymen come, I find a nice open space and wait for them.  Then I fight them all at once.  He broke the game for me.  I wish I could find some titans.

I realize I've kept this masterwork fungiwood shield long enough to get 262 kills on it, 102 of them notable, probably because it accumulates credit for kicks and punches as well as the misc shieldbashing. It's nice and lightweight, and effective enough in spite of low density. Does material type matter for shields? This may start to wear out, but lacking that, would steel ever become preferable?

The most epic thing happened when my adventurer, Erin, lost the use of her left arm and couldn't swing her sword anymore.

She became Captain America. Caving in skulls left and right, she's a legendary fighter, shield user, and dodger. I think she might have severed something other than teeth once with it!

The book can crush skulls, and the coffin grows ever stronger and now that is has a few dead dragons in it, it sends people flying a mile backwards to explode in a pile of gore. Gore which I then place into the coffin, increasing its weight and power.

I usually like using a battleaxe or short sword in close quarters.
At range, I'll start off with throwing metal bolts, and then I start throwing the heads of my previous kills once I get farther along.
And if that's not enough, I'll revive those thrown heads so they can gnaw on my target's ankles.

A masterwork dragon bone longsword adorned with hanging rings of dragon bone and menacing with spikes of dragon bone and dragon tooth, made using Wanderer's Friend and a whole lotta training. And also save-scumming, because dragon bones are rare, dammit. Once I get some sufficiently valuable gems I intend to encrust it with them. Also, question: If an adventurer kills enough things with a weapon, does that weapon get named? I know this happens in fortress mode, but does it work for adventurers too? And if so, when does it usually happen? Because there's this ultra-convenient lair right outside my starting civ's capital that I've been putting trophies and stuff in, and I was thinking I could try to do an "Adventurer's Legacy" thing, where my adventurers take up the legendary sword of the Dragonslayer (or something) to smite the evils that plague the land.

The best type of spear, I don't know what it is, though. I'm pretty bad, and my personal record is completing 5 quests before dying to bogeymen. But spears are good because a hit to the head is usually an instant kill. That may be every weapon, and I may just be a complete derp, but oh well.

I'm thinking of doing this in adventurer mode for shits and giggles:

An adventurerer that carries a few logs around with him and throws them at enemies to kill via caber tossing.  Maybe hold some of those logs in his hand to bludgeon anything that gets too close.  Though to get the logs I'd either have to start in dorf mode, make a small fort near on of the human towns and chop down all the trees and abandon, or see if I can do it in Wanderer's Friend.

Another rap about a child in a hamlet that I continually kept asking for quests from over the course of 2 months that killed me when I punched him :P

Man, he started keeping something in his night bag
Something he had found in the kitchen by the frying pan
he was in a new mental state
Ready to release all of the anger and pent up hate
And he swore when he came to the door
he wouldn't take it lying down like he had before
he kept the knife in the drawer with the handle sticking out
Next time he came in he chickened out
So he decided he would hide it in a place much closer
Somewhere he could grab it as soon as he approached him
Put it under the pillow and he was ready
The next time he came in he wielded it like a machete
You could tell by the way that he swung that he had practiced
Shadow stabbing in his mirror for the past six weeks
His confidence level had peaked
The first slice to the dick then he stabbed him in the cheek
And he didn't stop stabbing even when he stopped screaming
Still stabbing and sticking even when he stopped breathing
His mom ran in and she screamed in horror
As she slipped and she fell on the blood-covered floor

I need to take a break from this game....

It depends, bronze short sword and iron shield, then leather armor or just a bow and iron arrow to stab people if i am off of arrows (i am always droping it before shooting, because i can not choose my ammo, sadly). When i have arrows, i am just shooting, when enemy is close, i am straping my bow and i am using my arrow. It's quite good, and some medieval soldiers was fighting using arrows in close combat. It was effective too, because arrows was able to pierce plate armor if you used it to stab somebody between plates.

It's possible in vanilla.
Strap 2 weapons/shields to your back. Pick up a third and/or a fourth. Use the remove menu to remove the two items strapped to your back. You're now triple/quadruple wielding.
Strapping the third & fourth weapons to your back and picking up more adds more carnage.
This is painfully effective due to dual-wielding.

Halberd. Takes limbs off like a battleaxe, stabs through chitinous exoskeleton like a spear.

Always my favorite. 

Stats compare better to a greataxe than a battleaxe, but somewhere in between there.  For the things that are hard to dismember, a few thrusts should be enough to wound major organs and have them bleeding out.

Yeah, halberds definitely use the axe skill for edged attacks. I've played 90% of this adventurer with a halberd and he went from Accomplished to Grand Master axeman. It's possible that bashing uses the hammer skill though. I know that crossbows do. Most misc objects use "striking" but actually it would make sense since the attack command is "strike [enemy] with [item]" vs "bash [enemy] with pommel of [weapon]" when using a halberd, sword, bow, etc.

The weapons is still a sword.  Its different smashing a face with the hilt of a sword than with the pommel of a halbred or the head of a hammer.  Its the same style of attack, namely aimed at causing blunt damage, but the movements and even the mental process behind using that attack would be different.

I just tested it ingame, bashing with the handle/pommel/whatever of a halberd uses your axe skill.

Just for the hell of it here's my favorite halberd. I stole it from the tomb of a lawgiver of the civ neighboring mine, on the 200th anniversary of his ascension to the position. It must have been made specially for him because it's decorated with a picture of his coronation. Despite all the gems and gneiss it's conveniently light, only weighs 9 urists.

I like tó throw enemies in murky pools tó drown them, or ignite a tree where a bird sleeps. 
I also like tó throw water from waterskins or throwing sand, tree leaves or berries. Dwarf or elf leather earring, see my signature.

My favourite weapon is a silver whip, large contact area, heavy and blunt, in my other hand I have 5 shields they are also good for bashing.

Biting eyes or toes is also fun.

Or try to kick someone's hand then punch their foot. Bonus for spitting in their nose, it will surely confuse them.

I use my own armor as a weapon. I take a piece off and beat the enemy to death. its fun because of the risk that comes from removing a part of your armor. c':

Ah, see I just beat people with their own armor. Much more effective. Helmets and gauntlets are the best.

The bit I bolded reminds me of the movie Gladiator for some reason.

As of late, been favoring maces. Don't even know why.

Ive been dual-knifing a lot lately, and throwing extra ones or ones of inferior quality.  I also modded in a stiletto, so I typically prefer a slicing knife and a stiletto on the off-hand.

Currently I am walking around with an iron whip and a bag. I always hit people in the lower body, so that when I cut off their guts or they vomit I can put it in the bag. The bag weighs twice my dwarf right now, containing nothin but guts, vomit, and a dead kobold. It crushes skulls wonderfully. Other than that I just fight until I heat an arm or leg chopped off, then run away to heal and wield my own limb as a weapon.

More of a signature attack but when possible, my current adventurer likes to mangle the enemy's feet with a spear to ground them before taking off their fingers one by one with his teeth. Then their nose. Then their eyelids. Tongue. Eyes...

And when spectators get angry at what he's doing, he throws severed noses at them.  :D

I prefer heavy minecarts, if possible. A platinum minecart filled with other minecarts tends to work well as a bashing object (which, surprisingly, uses and trains the Miner skill), kills instantly if thrown, and can be used to drive over others at high speed. Can you still stealth while in a minecart, incidentally?

Masterwork large serrated steel disc in right hand.

Also, have anyone tried to use magma as an adventurer?

Like, can I build a well over a volcano, get steel buckets and fill em up, then go around throwing lava at people? It seems practical enough for me?

Well, I use a whip because it's basically a point-blank-range railgun as far as the physics know, but my real signature weapon is the sheer terror that my enemies seem to innately feel at my presence. No, really, I get attacked by large groups of goblins and similar all the time, they just kill my current followers, realize that the three people whaling on me have yet to deal damage, and flee screaming.

In DF 2012, I always used to go unarmed. Specifically, I went legged. I would kick everyone around in the gut until they were stuck retching and vomiting on the ground. Then, I went around kicking their skulls in one by one.

In DF 2014, skulls got a bit tougher and kicks got a bit slower, so I use actual weapons.

Swords: I use these often for their versatility. You can slash, stab, and pommel strike, one of every kind of basic attack. Jack of all trades, master of none sort of thing.

Spears: I love these against all normal enemies. You just walk up and start stabbing! Each stab is likely to impale organs and break bones if you hit a small bony part, like a hand or foot. They also cause a ton of bleeding.

Warhammers: Definitely my signature. You break one bone and most creatures are down. They are the ONLY weapon for non-flesh creatures, but can slaughter fleshy ones just the same. Also good against armored opponents, and very easy to knock someone out with but not have to kill him. Also, they just sound so cool.

Always paired with a shield and with a dagger ready to draw, these are my signatures. I also enjoy kicking and biting when I'm disarmed.
Title: Re: What is your signature weapon?
Post by: StagnantSoul on November 22, 2014, 07:08:33 pm
I'm using a large bronze dagger (my dwarf civ literally doesn't have copper.) and an iron short sword. Slash at the head, then stab the upper body.

I became a vampire once, when I had highest possible strength, decided to kill beasts, such as minotaurs etc. Ended up loosing both arms. Decided to kill as many civilians I could, almost kicked the head of everyone in the entire keep, was near invincible. 

Edit: I am still wondering, If I carry a bucket of Lava, can I use it to throw at people?

I was going for dagger and spear to impale enemies and then slash their throats.

It wasn't very efficient, clothes deflected dagger. I'm going to try sword and spear next time. Or stun them with lash and then finish with sword.

I did the same thing. Then I realized something. Daggers are not for slashing. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagger)

A dagger is a knife fighting weapon with a very sharp point designed or capable of being used as a thrusting or stabbing weapon.

Yeah, it's best to only stab with a dagger. Just stab once at the the neck and they'll start bleeding out.

whips, althought i havent got the thing right with them, always go for the upper and lower body in order to make them drop their weapons/shields and then go for the head. the problem is in many cases that they block with shield or parry.

I'm trying a whip+pick design, only using auto attacks. Heavily armoured, layered to the max, good dodging. Going to pit this adventurer solo versus a lot of goblin soldiers and trolls, try to decide whether it's good for fortress mode. I'll test in arena as well.

The Scythe is a truly beautiful thing. (Note: This is for Masterwork 6.1).

As far as standard DF goes, I'm trying quite hard to make an adventurer who excels at kicking. Of course, the first enemy I encountered after making my first try was a werewolf... Which did not go well.

I tried using a divine metal pike against one of the vault guardian bosses, and it wasn't penetrating as well as my Iron Halberd on thrust attacks.

That was a little dissapointing.  Pinnacle thrusting weapon, pinnacle metal, worse results than my thrusting-axe.

In one hand, I wield a copper mace for heavy hitting, in the other, a simple iron carving knife for parrying and quick opportunity strikes. My signature move is a multiattack, quickly stabbing my opponent's throat with the knife then bringing the full force of the mace down with a heavy bash to their foot or shin. Ideally this move will cause the target to lose consciousness and bleed out in a couple of steps while I deal with their comrades or catch a breather.

I go unarmed. Striker mostly, but wrestling/kicking/biting is fun.

Heavy attack scratches are quite awesome against unarmored opponents,they maim upper and lower body organs like nobody's business (apparently dwarves have Wolverine claws as nails). I also go for the throat with scratches/bites, against armored I wrestle stuff, remove weapon, break a few limbs and then go for the kill.

I also use throwing because archers.

I remember having a pair of giant rat flails as my weapons, which had successfully taken out a named alligator. I then proceeded to use that alligator as my main weapon, and the rats as my sidearms.

I was unstoppable (mostly against rhesus macaques and wolves) until a titan exploded my weapons, along with myself, into gore.
