[FLIER] tag can't be added through syndromes, that is why I suggested a caste of the creature that has the tag lol.

and dullahans would simply just have to have the brain as a kill switch, making only a head shot kill it. Blood can be never ending as I found when you use a external material for blood (seems only LOCAL materials can run out, which causes bleeding to death)

The curse might be duable, I've heard a few modders have already made "friendly" curses.

Hmm, so on the flier subject: If I were to make an angel race, and give it the descriptors for say only beautiful looks, make it an only female race, and make an interaction that when ingested turns a human,dwarf, elf, or my amazonians into these angels. would when they turn, would the angels discriptors show up or would the orginal creatures be prevalent? also, will i be able to limit the interaction to only target females?

Angel race: yes
Custom description: yes
body modifiers/color modifers: no? (some modders had crashes on viewing a transformed creature because color descriptors "eyes where blue, but new eyes are red" DF gets confused crashes)
Origonal descriptors : yes (I think)
Target only Females: yes (give female castes a CREATURE_CLASS:FEMALE and then the interaction/syndrome a target only creature_class:female)

I believe I solved my problem. I don't think I had anything telling the game that this creature exists, or something along those lines. It only took a LARGE_ROAMING.

I got an idea but I have no idea how to make it work: is it possible to somehow make kobold ambushers show up with obsidian short swords and bone and skull helmets/gloves/greaves? Technically it seems they have all the proper jobs permitted, but invaders never seems to use these sorts of items.

I wish I could help you but i turned my kobolds into a peaceful race that likes to hang out in taverns with dwarves and elves, joking about how stupid goblins are...

Gave 'em silver armor and is basically empty aside from some left over goo from.....past users. Also lack some "personal appeal" stuff, like lair hunting text and such...there's also other versions in Masterwork and several other mods I think so do check them out (they might be better made too).

body modifiers/color modifers: no? (some modders had crashes on viewing a transformed creature because color descriptors "eyes where blue, but new eyes are red" DF gets confused crashes)

Oooh, so that's why. Sometimes some my familiars tend to do that.

[Niccolo]

I've been plotting something out. After searching around, I've come to believe that in DF2010 creating a reaction to re-attach a severed limb to a dwarf was not possible.

But DF2012 has a whole slew of fancy new toys for us to play with... But I get the feeling that attaching the severed bit is still a pipe-dream. So, I'm thinking a syndrome that causes the missing limb to re-grow.

Am I on the right track, do you guys think?

[Sanure]

@Kobold Troubadour
How immortal is this creature? I may make an interaction to become one or may make it an evil curse, with your permission of course.

@Niccolo
Man, i could definatly use a reaction to re-attach my left arm right now. stupid alligator...

[Putnam]

Regrowing limbs is easy. Just have a 1-step long transformation.

You can mess with it as you wish. You can make it tougher by making its tissue out of different materials or making it's thickness higher, as well as just plain increasing its natural skill set. Also forgot to put the PRONE_TO_RAGE tag to make it angrier (and stronger) often.

But as with inorganic creatures...healing from a damaged state needs more specific modding.

Yeah, but won't that heal all of the dwarf's other wounds, too?

Pretty much...some of us like to keep some noteworthy scars. Like that one time a demon carved out a nasty one in my adventurer's left eye with it's horns. Now I have a badass battle wound (because I survived too).

Man, good time have come from scars. One of my past dead characters had a scar on her chest that looked like she had open heart surgery, because the description said it was a large straight scar. Best scar I have ever had.

[WillowLuman]

My favorite? Large jagged scar on the guts.

[Sanure]

So, im making a creature that's going to be classified as wetland fauna (its a plant creature) But I just realized that I dont know anything about Custom bodies... So how do custom bodies work, and how would you set one up?

[WillowLuman]

Hoo boy...

Well, first check the wiki pages:
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Body_detail_plan_token
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Body_token

This needs a fairly long-winded explanation, being probably the most difficult part of modding DF aside from testing.
