Although it does seem a tad overpowered Fun, being able to dig down scot-free. Aquifiers would be extra FUN, too.
Fixed it for you. No control... probably, your machine would unleash the caverns and smash on the floor. They wouldn't be cheap, or easy (barring some neat thingy with a dwarf pumping water into a watermill on top, of course).

Perhaps it could depend on how the character was husked - by dark magicians, mist or dust or some such. If a dark magician enthralled a footsoldier on a battlefield who was dying from blood loss after losing his arm, a new arm could appear that is made of some kind of icy-cold black fire or something rather than just growing new bones. You could have several ways of growing new body parts. Under different circumstances (I don't quite know what), maybe he could gain limbs made out of solid silver or something.

As a complete aside, I've just had a vision of a liberated, semi-invulnerable Dwarven thrall with a silver fist becoming a night creature hunter and punching werewolves to death.
And I just had an image of such a hand strangling its owner to death due to him failing his master. Weird. Sounds good, though.

Yup. Not sure how many people read it, got far enough to recognize the allusion, AND wouldn't have reached that point, though.

I still like the uses of the new nonlethal combat system.

Dogs have their uses. Primary goblin-killing method isn't one of them.

Hardly safe. What if you channel into a cavern lake or over a long, hard drop? What if something dead got down there somehow and started a subterranean zombie apocalypse? What if some beast of the deeps shows up and kills your dwarf? What if you hit magma or, Armok forbid, the HFS before you hit the caverns? What if the caverns are barren of food? What if a zombie falls or flies down the pit and kills something?

But yes, it's better than letting those survivors die.

I guess...well, there's one more thing to do.

What should variables be?

Yeah, now that I have DF all other games pale in comparison.

Anyone know of some way to convince both games companies and consumers that such a focused approach is ideal?

Was the goblin armed, armored, and trained? Those are huge advantages, especially since goblins have a size advantage.

Isn't this bug caused when a former caravan  merchant migrates to your fortress?

So, I recently had a human merchant caravan wiped out by some a besieging force, and despite having a coffins built, set up, and having them set to accept bodies, by dwarves are leaving the corpses to rot.

So, what do I do here? Do I just leave the bodies outside and set up memorial slabs?
I think I see the problem...

Perhaps there's a stealthy necromancer?

First off, figure out what kind of evil biome it is. Blood rains? Meh, build an outdoors fortress if you like. Syndromey rains and clouds? Keep dwarves you like inside. Huskifying clouds? Let NOTHING alive outside, seal off the entrance the moment you get a husk. Zombification? Seal off the surface and never look back, avoid butchery and any kind of death. Evil animals are usually scarier and more aggressive than average, but if they don't come back they're typically easier than a goblin thief.

That would simplify things.

And the absolute worst failure is impossible with even the lowest level of skill or talent, barring notable penalties. It takes a 1 or less, and novice skill and a talent both give +2. So...don't send unskilled fishermen put for three weeks.

Finally, those traits could be eliminated, but I like giving people control over such things. Especially since randomly generated islands would probably be more work and would certainly have a chance to screw people over from day 1, without any control to avoid it. Thoughts?
