[Wraithsight]

Just out of pure curosity (I might have missed a dev note) does anyone know if the material of "natural" weapons - claws, fangs, spiked tenticles of forced intrusion - has an effect on how much damage it does against armour made of stronger materials? Will a wolfs bite attack, since Im assuming its teath are bone, do nothing against Steal Plate? Or does it still use the basic "2-6 points of damage per attack + strength -armour-toughness etc" mechanic?

[Untelligent]

The old combat system has been more or less scrapped in favor of the new material system, which takes into account the properties of the material rather than a few arbitrary numbers.

The teeth attack use the properties of the teeth material, so they might do a fair bit less damage than they do now. On the other hand, there will be stat caps to your dwarves, so it'll balance out a bit.

On another note, minor critters like wolves ought to be more of a threat to civilians than steel-clad soldiers anyway. That's what the new underground stuff is for.

Makes you wonder how much of a threat the clowns will be. (I know, there are new clowns and stuff.) Will they literally have adamantine teeth?
