So... what would happen if you made a weapon like this?

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_FIREWHIP]
[NAME:fire whip:fire whips]
[DAMAGE:20:GORE]
[DAMAGE:25:BURN]
[DAMAGE:15:HEAT]
[WEIGHT:10]
[SKILL:WHIP]
[TWO_HANDED:3]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:3]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1]
[STICK_CHANCE:0]

would it do 20 gore, 25 burn AND 15 heat damage, for a total of 60 damage (and several heat-related owies)? Or would the game blow up/die/close? Or would it only choose one of the damage tokens and use it? Would the choice be random?

The point being that I want to make a sorcerer fortress, using magic instead of melee weapons ("swords" are ranged weapons, called fire staves, which shoot out 'fire spell' ammo), and I want to make spells that do bludgeon AND pierce AND burn damage.



EDIT: what happens if you make a weapon that has several SKILL tokens? Do you get experience in all of them?

Hmm... a weapon that, when you fight with it, causes you to become more proficient in... EVERYTHING!

[Demonic Gophers]

Pretty sure it'll pick one - the last, I think.  I tried to make fire darts, with BURN and PIERCE, but they didn't work.

Multiples only work with certain tags.
These are not one of them.
It will either error out or pick the first one.

[Shoruke]

aww. It would be SO much fun to have fire whips that burn and gore your target at the same time.

Umm, which tags DO work with multiples?

[Duke 2.0]

 I'm sure axes do both slash and blunt damage. Look at what they do for an example.

 Unless what I understand about the RAW's are wrongiddy wrong wrong.

Both slash and bash eh?
Unless weight is factored in for attacking, which I'm pretty sure it's not.

[Duke 2.0]

 Well, slash chops off limbs and bash knocks things backwards. The swords only chop limbs off and the hammers only knock things back. Axes do both, somehow.

 Odd.

[Demonic Gophers]

High enough slash damage will knock things back.  Like so.

The reason I asked in the first place is that I'm making a sorcerer mod, and I thought it would be cool to have fire spells that use burn and heat simultaneously, and to have construct pets that can bludgeon AND gore foes at the same time. Oh well. I guess I have to settle with fire spells that can only burn.

Maybe I'll put a bunch of alcohol in a passage, have the sorcs shoot fire spells that do heat damage, light the targets on fire, and explode the alcohol. Would it work?

EDIT: I'm almost done raw-ing in the weapons and ammo, so spellcasting is almost up. After that, I need to make constructs (which can be forged; they're pets... hopefully I can make it so only sorcs can have them), sorc-specific leather armor, sure that the spells ACTUALLY WORK, and some super-duper-special metals.

Creatures can have multiple attack/different attack type tags, but not weapons.

Wait you can forge "pets" if you mess around with it? I thought that would be the same as making dwarves via smelting and it wouldnt work. Does it work for you?

[Untelligent]

At this point in time, you CANNOT make creatures via the smelter. If you attempt to, they will appear as vermin and be completely useless except as a food source.

There's at least one suggestion in the Eternal Suggestion page suggesting this feature, though. I think the title is "allow large creatures to be smelted at a smelter," if anyone still uses that page.
