I'm not too sure but I think the number of companions you can have is a bit bugged right for quite a while now through different versions as is your experience.

Try losing the ones you currently have (as in get them lost in the woods, not kill them) & recruit some new ones...some tests are required for further study...

Swimming in water or covering yourself with snow ain't gonna help ya' to resist the "process".

Play with fire & you get burned...but seeing as this is DF, if you survive the playing phase, they say you're basically fire-proof (But it is said that you lose the "protection" of body fat).

I than proceeded to go  "banzai" on him with my spear and than... he bit off my brain...

Ehhh... Later he killed another 20 (2 of them being my new adventurers) while STILL BEING IN THE SAME SPOT... God dang it...

It could have rolled or crawled away....but it just reeeeaaaaally liked that particular spot I guess.

I found out that if you make a adventurer reaction that takes ANYthing and turn it into an axe.
you earn the ability to grab  MAT-breathe form it into an Axe then throw it straight back to the foul creature who used that attack.

I wonder if this means we can make dragonfire shields and axes?

That's pretty nice...just what tags are needed for "anything" regents? Farthest weird stuff I created so far Human muscle backpacks & Elven guts waterskins.

We've all found that one not a mega beast enemy that refuses to to just die.

I've been beating that Pikeman with the table for a good five minutes, fully broken both his arms both of his lungs have several ribs jammed in them and a majority of his internal organs are damaged. All that's done is piss him off.

Sweet. But next time, try using the one in the Grand dining hall, not the one in the kiddy corner where elfy tea parties are held.

So I jumped into the biggest pond I could find to loose him.
Well he didn't jump after me .
_{And... I didn't have a skill in swimming...
And... I couldn't get out...
And... I kinda...
drowned...}

BUT I WAS SO LEGENDARY AND BADASS!

Kinda' sad when a Legendary warrior can't even dip his toes in the kiddy pool without the risk of water filled lungs related death.

...And I bet even the Colossus was disappointed....

Bascially, the bigger the target that you wrestle with, the more experience you get. So trying to headlock a megabeast level-ups those skills to legendary instantly, you suddenly get musclebound & can use a crapload of masterful grapple moves to bring a can of whoop-ass.

But that doesn't mean that you can actually strangle them with ease...they are still bigger and stronger. And if they're feeling smart, they'd just throw you against a wall in breakneck speed...which leads to more than just a broken neck.
