This is what the dwarfs currently have. The numbers are a percent, so dwarves can be anywhere between 75% as "Broad" as the standard to 125% as "Broad" as the standard. By changing these to be closer to the standard, it will make them less "fat", probably. I am not really concerned with things like descriptions in my mod, so it is possible that even if you turned the 125 to 102 or even 100 it would still describe them as fat. Deleting this entirely would remove the description, at least.

It is important to remember, however, that the larger "fat" categories actually increase their size, making them generally more powerful in melee, despite the description. For example, the "Obese" dwarf would multiply standard body size by 125%, actually making him stronger. Real life militaries typically have all sorts of body types anyways, while they aren't out of shape or obese, it might be best to think of broadness as broadness.

If you want the Broadness tag to still exist and just not show up, changing its

which (I think) is currently 500 to a low number may keep it from showing up on character pages, while still effecting the game.

You made hundreds of weapons without testing any? That is honestly asking for disaster, in my opinion. Assuming your librarian is OK with you playing DF on the school computers (unless you are using a laptop), you can move/copy your DF folder to a flash drive and play it anywhere. Most librarians can see what you are doing on their computers and are capable of locking them, but seeing as you are already apparently coding....

Also, how exactly are you representing all these differences in the guns? There isn't any stat for things like barrel length, though you seem to be representing them.

While I am giving (probably unwanted) advice, you should probably remember to at least test some of the guns against clothed opponents. In my experience, a gun can work wonderfully against opponents in testing but simply bounce of cloths in a real game.

Will finish pistols tomorrow for sure.

Thankfully, you can disable mummies in the advanced world generator, so that the regal dead can stay dead. You could also mod in your own variation of the toilet roll spooks, if you wanted.
