Dwarven hammerball
« on: November 18, 2010, 03:24:50 pm »

Is there any sort of strange lightweight cave creature that is completely immune to blunt damage?  If not, what properties would be needed to create one?  If a creature doesn't take damage from a blunt hit, can it be sent flying anyway?

I need a ball for my teams of hammer dwarves to splatter across the dwarven sports arena that won't die at every hit.

Playing a cheesemaker in an average Fortress 'round here would be. Freaking. Terrifying.

Wouldn't a cave blob sort of creature, which didn't have ways of attacking other than "push", work, if you made it's skin out of adamantine?

They should still have sports equipment on (armor) to avoid getting bruised up, unless you are going for that. I was trying for a critter that did no damage and my vict- test subjects still got lots of yellow parts.

Doesn't creature size affect damage these days too?
Maybe make the creature size 1000 or whatever, isn't that like 1 kg on dorf weight system?

Or you could just use flesh balls.
