Neck Wound Chances
« on: November 05, 2008, 08:13:17 pm »
        So, one of my soldier's received a brown neck wound during sparring. There any chance or decent odds that it will heal, or should I pen him in for a trip to the "special" rooms?

Neck =/= spine. You'll be fine.

No, I've never seen a neck wound heal. Injuries to the brain, neck, upper spine and lower spine are all permanent, in my experience.

Also, according to the wiki's Wound page, "Wounds to the nervous system (the neck, brain, or spine) will never heal."

Send him to face a siege alone. Bastards who think spraining their neck a bit should relieve them of training have another thing coming

I don't really see why neck is a part of the nervous system in the first place. Spine should cover it

Dont send him alone; he needs support.
Mod raccoons into the game, make them trainable, and make leigions of war raccoons.

If he has decent physical stats just throw him a crossbow.

One of my fortress had a "cripple" squad of dedicated marksdwarves. They were all nervous injury victims. Because they couldn't spar, they were always carrying their crossbows. Which meant they were not only the best shots but also the first troops to turn up to every battle.
