Kinda reminds me of that real life bloke... He's a professional wrestler.

He aint got legs below the knee, and I think he's got stumps just under the elbow. And he kicks 'able-bodied' peoples' asses.

Mainly because wrestling makes the assumption that your opponent HAS those appendages, and because he doesn't, anything that uses them doesn't work on him.

Ah, Here he is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xhVaoi7_TI

Aw man. Just a couple days ago I euthanized a similar dwarf who lost his hands to a tantrum, because I got sick of the "cancels everything: no bloody hands" spam announcements. I feel bad now.

I disassembled my three-loom silk processing plant, because of continuous "cancels web collection:Can't find path" spam. No one died, but I lost some faith in Dwarf Fortress.

You dare bury this hero next to NOBLES?

How inspiring. I should tell this story to my lazy dwarf who refuses to get out of bed now that he is missing one foot. I mean come on, if you're not going to use a crutch you could still hop across the fort.

Picture a dwarf, warrior, mechanic, or some other incredibly useful profession. Now picture him dead. That's what infections do.

You may want to do a little spouse selection: dwarves will fall for other dwarves who share their beliefs more readily.

Why only one spouse? Give him all of them.

Also, how is this thread not locked yet?

I found that if no constructed bed exists, wounded dwarves will be forced to get up and do something. If you want to go through the trouble of destroying every bed in the fortress and the unhappy thoughts this is a very viable option for the pansy dwarves.

I found this out mostly by accident. In my fortress of 100 dwarves about a month ago an ambush came and the goblins stabbed a miner, he halued his ass to a bed and stayed in it for years. In a new fortress about a month ago a cave-in caused a miner to get wounded and we had no beds so he just stood up and continued to mine, pretty much brushing off the accident.

Until he died of infection, but meh.

I attempted to mod my dwarves to heal from nerve damage. I've got a dwarf in hospital now with "ability to stand lost" and "motor nerve damage" from a severed nerve in the left foot.

He's been there a year. I decided that I didn't have the patience to wait for the healing to happen — if I even modded them right! — and locked him in his hospital room to starve. The resulting tantrum spiral brought down my fort so … well, yes. I savescummed back to the start of the season. Because I'll be damned if Little Spanky McBedRidden is going to be the catalyst for doom. Again.

Make him a black uniform and an iron helm so he can at least do a good impression of the Monty Python Black Knight.
