I was just looking through the wiki and I noticed there's already a special attack for sucking blood. That's pretty cool and I'm gonna go look through all the other attacks I don't know about.

The only special attacks out there currently are inject extract, (which can stun, paralyze, etc.) suck blood, firebreath, and dragonfire.

P.S. another cool thing would be the ability to add new damage types (burn, cold, gore, etc.) and edit the messages given for fatal blows and whatnot.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Yeah I agree, new damage types would be excellent to have sometime. Example we could mod in a frost giant and his attacks could be cold based, or same with a fire giant/fire based attacks. The possibilites would be endless.  8)

I think fire breath and fireball throwing need to be separate tags.

And also, fire breath needs to be counted as an attack. Why? So we can change the description of the attack and how much damage it does.

[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:GRASP:cast a fire spell:casts a fire spell:1:4:FIREBREATH]

That will make modded wizards better since they won't breathe fire anymore.

I think he means "new damage types OTHER than burn, cold, gore, etc." because we already have all those and there are mods with frost giants and fire giants with frost and fire attacks respectively.

"It occurred to me that if I could invent a machine – a gun – which could by its rapidity of fire, enable one man to do as much battle duty as a hundred, that it would, to a large extent supersede the necessity of large armies, and consequently, exposure to battle and disease [would] be greatly diminished." - Dr. Richard J. Gatling

And these damage types need effects. Like we could have electric damage that did more damage if the defender is wet.

Make a new thread and people give you flak for not using the search function.
