Anyone mind drawing this for me? I'm terrible at drawing even stick-figures, not to mention detailed characters.



Imagine the adventurer doing this as a mannish, muscular female. (that was essentially her look in-game, though I don't have a screenshot of her description)

To be fair, regarding balance there's a ton of stuff that's unbalanced to begin with (and IMO it's what makes this game really fun), so I don't think that'd be much of a concern when adding more types of magic.
It's not really like magic users are easy to get in either adventure mode in fort mode, so I think that by itself balances it out.
I personally have 3 schools of magic in my worlds including necromancy.
Kinda sucks how spellcasters need some kind of "animate" spell to actually make towers and make their books and slabs available to read. Hope that changes whenever new spellcasters are officially added.

Elves are not made of flesh and bone, but of weakness and failure.

Don't forget self-righteous, tree-hugging hypocrisy. Oh, and cannibalism.

I've seen this question on another thread and it's recommended to change the velocity modifier of the maul to around 10000 to make them practical.

The only baby I come across was elven. It promptly got kicked by me and stabbed by my companions. Buuuut it was an elf, so, whatever...
Never seen anyone die of old age in-game myself. Kinda makes me jealous of people who have bandit leaders charge them only to die of age. I would suffocate laughing if that happened to me.

I also had a badass story I remembered from an earlier version of 0.40, don't remember which one exactly, but anyway. I was a dwarf axedwarf travelling with a macedwarf and marksdwarf and gained infamy for killing bandits and stealing things from merchants.
Eventually this caught up with me and I was ambushed by a group of atleast 15 dwarven recruits, 2 marksdwarves and also 2 human crossbowmen, all in a box formation around me and my 2 companions. This happened around noon in-game, so you can imagine that the atmosphere was kind of awesome in a wild-west showdown sorta way.
I started by going after the crossbowmen due to previous experiences. What I didn't notice is the recruits swarming my macedwarf friend and holding him down and beating and stabbing him to death; there was literally 9 recruits on top of him in a square. The marksdwarf ran away during the fight, so he actually survived as I found out in legends.
After going on a rampage of revenge I killed nearly every recruit and every crossbowman, which made the rest collectively crap themselves and try to run away. I noticed one of them was hit by a crossbow bolt, so I thought my marksdwarf friend returned, but I couldn't have been more wrong.
Apparently, a goblin army was marching right where I was having this battle, and they started killing off the survivors. My leg's muscles were torn during the fight with the goblins, so I thought I might as well go out like a warrior instead of trying to crawl away. I noticed the goblin lady, a pikewoman, along with her lasher bodyguard, standing some distance away from the battle.
I crawled up to them and tried to kill them. It didn't work out. The lasher broke my other leg, sending me into unconsciousness, and the lady finished me off with a stab to the head.

Non-modded, I usually prefer using a two-handed sword with a shield. Often augmented by picking up random weapons from slain enemies and using them as throwing weapons. Feels really satisfying to throw an axe or dagger and get the "Victim McDead has been shot and killed" after a successful headshot (headthrow?)

Modded, I do the same throwing thing but as a main weapon I use either a claw and knuckleduster, or a dacian falx (a big 2-handed sickle-like weapon).

I wonder if that one guy would have been hostile.
Also, setting up camp south of a dark fortress seems like a way to get yourself killed by goblin patrols. Just saying.
