My guys are wearing cloth armor, some leather and every now and then someone has a wood piece of armor (from the elves) or a bone helmet (crafted from workshop) and no one has ever gotten so much as bruised. I've had them in the room for months (non-consecutively). Babies and pets still get impaled (actually pets less so. I had a rabbit die of infection). It's a new fortress, havent done resource digging and haven't built forges yet so I don't have access to metal. That being said, each square in the danger room has 4 training spears as Spikes.
Again. Never so much as a bruise. They all have wooden bucklers and their shield-usage is all legendary (the lowest at 2x, the highest at 5x), their fighting is all the way up, but dodging is only about half way.
I'm thinking of having them remove the shields and go in.
