Hi,

question: If I mod my dwarf raws to say, 65000 size instead of 60000, will my dwarves be able to use the larger weapons, and do experienced Urist McModders here know if there will be any other side effects to making dwarves a little bit bigger?

Would it be safer to mod the weapons in question to be smaller?

Thanks.

Probably safer to mod weapons, though that size increase won't cause too much difference in combat against other sentients and that's a lot more work. You'll get a mild increase in damage and resistance thereof, but probably nothing really noticeable.

If you add too much size (like 200k more) you'll get fun things where you are big enough to backhand enemies 21 feet through the air and have such thick layers of skin/fat that they won't be able to penetrate to major organs/bones. You can also achieve this effect by making dwarves out of superdense materials.

Anyway, you should ask things like this in the modding forum :3

Thanks, I shoulda posted this there yeah.

I guess I'll mod the weapons to be smaller then. Is it really that easy? I mean, I'd think Toady would have made them smaller already before he fixes the issue with individual dwarf size and weapon use.

Yeah you just go in and change the values for allowed size.

Here's the wiki page with all the descriptive info.
