Are the raws modded to allow dwarves to make daggers? Because they normally can't.

They would of course be granted that ability, but it may be something different from the generic large daggers.

Didn't Talvi's list say something about Vampiric Silver Daggers?

, like highborn dwarves (who I devised as way for us to be allowed to arrange unfortunate accidents without complete upward stagnation, though at the cost of decent soldier. )

This seems to say you know a way to put political tags in creature RAWs. Can you explain that?
Otherwise I like those positions, assuming everyone is okay with the added difficulty objectives.
I think I want to see this with the CMD and Physicians, though. Just for Flavor.

Oh, if you were surprised by a new name, I read through the whole thread over the last few months. I love this fort(which got me back into DF after a long hiatus) and have been playing against Mr Frog's Holistic Spawn in my current fort. My Fischer has 18 kills, 8 of which are Spawn. She is 154 Spear(no pikes sorry) and 215 Fighter.

Hopefully, I'll be contributing to SB 2(odd for me but I did say hopefully)

On the fast travel map, I think there is a sewer entrance label, just like for wells. A lot of those entrances seem to be blocked, but you can just check another. Failing that, there will be an entrance in the dungeon as Garath suggested, because (in my experience) there is always an entrance to the sewers somewhere. Also, you may be able to drop down a well, though I've never tried it and you will probably die for your trouble.

I have modded boots (ITEM_BOOT_THIGH) that cover the upper leg, modded breastplate (ITEM_ARMOR_FULL) that covers the throat, modded gloves (ITEM_GLOVES_HIGH) that cover the upper arms, and a modded chain shirt (ITEM_ARMOR_MAIL_DRESS) that covers the entire body.

So your boots replace pants(but leave lower body vulnerable, don't let anyone shoot you in the ass). The breastplate, assuming you have UBSTEP:1, covers the throat and upper arms, so they have extra protection from the gloves as well. Your chain dress is a lovely metal version of a cloak.

-and unless you get into melee with a ranged weapon, the material it's made of really doesn't matter.

Also, there are very few places where an adventurer can use ranged weapons without entering melee. Better safe with platinum or gold. Silver if you plan on finding them without the reaction.

I thought setting the cap to 0 made it say "No pop cap!"
That might just be with babies though...

Also, attachments at bottom of post give the option to "Don't use smileys." > Only works for NOEMOTION hermits.

These will be utterly worthless. They are either blunt weapons or projectiles, all of which need to be heavy to deal real damage. And you forgot pants. 

All my megabeasts are dead, so I'm wandering around killing night creatures. Whole families of night creatures. With twenty followers. And no armor cause I'm an outsider and bigger than a human.
Edit. Killed ten kobolds before they got me. They filled a page in the historical figures.

Well, you would expect someone who has made 500 breast plates to be better at forging a sword that someone who comes in the smithy for the first time in his life, no?

And just a few strikes to make the blade sharper.... aaaaand dammit, another breastplate!

I had something else to say, but my browser hung, and I was worried about a double post. Maybe I'll remember later.

It's colored like parchment, without Graphics sets. I rather dislike it, but what can you do?  Dwarves don't have satellite imaging.

I... just got the invite to become part of the kingdom... For the first time... I'm very confused. I've tried to make this happen over and over, and when I don't want it to happen, it does... Oh well.

I chose a random (fixed) merchant with high Leader role rating, named her Mary(like that one terrible queen) and am about to use the impregnate command to give her an heir. Didn't even realize the religious significance until I started typing. She and her son worship Gamil, the deity of Healing.
