Once my long sword got stuck in a bronze colossus and I just couldn't get it out. My plan? I took off my pants and bashed to sucker's head in.

There.

I'm not sure how -random object- could do 'half the damage of a weapon', since different weapons do different amounts of damage.  I suppose there's probably just some default value for the damage of a non-weapon object, which is then affected by quality and material.

That, sir, wouldn't really be called an 'exact figure'. It would be more along the lines of 'random mass-guessing augmented by the whispers one heard amongst the static from a detuned radio.' So don't look too deep into it, please.

It's not that hard to figure out. The armor equivilant of damage appears to be either [MAINBLOCK] (for chest armor) and [BLOCKPOWER] (for everything else). It might not be the value used for determining damage, but it's the most likely.

The BLOCKPOWER of pants is 20. The DAMAGE of a short sword is 100.The damage% of any non-standard material weapon is 50% that of an Iron weapon.

From these values, one can calculate that, a pair of plant fiber pants will do approximately 1/10 the damage of an equal quality Iron weapon with 100 DAMAGE, such as a spear or short sword. This does NOT consider the experience level of the dwarf, or the damage type of the weapons. The latter is because I just don't know what type non-standard weapons are; it's probably BLUDGEON, but it could easily be PIERCE, because I've seen some things really tear up an enemy's insides.
