I'm trying to mod in a monster that looks like a regular human being, but can take an iron sword strike with no worse than a cut. Is this possible to do without making new body materials? I've tried just making their toughness really high (median is at 45,000), and while they are very clearly better at taking a hit than a normal person, they aren't as good as I'd like them to be.

I'm aware of how werebeasts take less damage from most materials, but I want this monster to be able to take more fall damage too, and I don't think that's covered by the werebeast tokens.

Besides making new materials, you could do what bronze colossi do and just steal a metal for your creature

Considering how fall damage works... I'm fairly confident that the werebeast damage factor applies there too. By my last reckoning it's basically a really big block of %groundmat% headbutting the fall-ee at the velocity of the fall.

To add to scourge's suggestion, you could remove the SKIN, add a new material IRON_SKIN (or whatever), then replace SKIN layer with IRON_SKIN. See bronze colossus ro see how to make inorganic layers, and the dragon raws to see how to add and remove materials from a template.

Try increasing the shear strength of the skin.  This will make it hard to cut, but it will take blunt damage normally.
