Give me a minute, I need to build an overly-complex impenetrable heart storage facility in fortress mode, then find it with my adventurer, store my organs there, and go get stabbed to my heart's conte... oh waitCutting out your vampire's lungs to avoid bleeding
Everyone knows you have to stab a vampire with a wooden spike through the heart to truly kill it, so...
Cutting out you vampire's heart so you'd be immortal!
Also, vampire's cut-out heart could act a bit like lich's phylactery - you shall rise from your ashes as long as your heart is secure in the deep pits of heavily trapped Tomb of Horrors.
Thirsty? Cut yourself and drink the blood."Now, to cut the sensory nerves to my arm aaand"
Starving? Cut off an arm and eat it.
Want to sleep but the boogiemen making too much noise? Strangle yourself unconscious.
Wimpy baby man? Hurt yourself to gain toughness.
Need place to store arrows? Stab them through your ears.
Can't stand? Stab yourself in the gut and lift yourself up with the weapon.
Infection? Amputate.
Want cool scars but don't want to risk your life in battle? Slash yourself with a silver weapon.
Want to run faster? Cut off all that superfluous body weight.
Want to give yourself a combat advantage by removing all pain? Slash your sensory nerves.
Want throwing weapons? Knock out your teeth.
Want to learn medical skills? Injure yourself then heal yourself.
Want to suicide? Cool.
Those are all the possible uses I can think of. It should be easy to program too.
as their push attacks can't really hurt youThat's what they all say
I'm talking about in dwarf fortress, obviously a big heavy thing with a sharp edge is going to do more damage than a light thing with the same edge...I've never heard about weight affecting slashes...It has a difference between a court sword and the greatsword, and pretty much difference in weight.
Surface dragons don't, but cave dragons do. It should be the reversed, imho.According to the description of cave dragons they still have wings, but not very useful ones
I'm fairly certain that welcoming parties only spawn when you punch into a hollow tube; in theory, at least, that's the only way you're supposed to get down there anyway.Digging through a whole filled tube takes you there as well, it's just hollow tubes are more !!FUN!!
