Gimpy Dwarf Question
« on: December 16, 2008, 02:38:50 pm »

Has anyone ever had a dwarf lose all four limbs, survive and somehow recuperate?  Did it some how manage to move arround the fotress or did it just stay in bed for ever?

That's what DF needs, The gutbuster brigade.  Screw that elf and his cat. Thibbledorf Pwent is the real hero.

I haven't seen anything like that in my fortresses. Theoritically it should be possible I guess, but the dwarf wouldn't be able to move.

Heh, Monty Python Black Knight-esque dwarves. I think there was one case of a dwarf losing either one or two limbs and still moving, but it doesn't happen very often, or very easily

Someday, I will get a quadriplegic. Then I'll leave him right outside my front door and call him Matt.

Unfortunately, as it stands now, the toughness required to tolerate the phantom limb pain from four severed limbs is unattainable.

There are three things I know about dwarves:
1. They've got beards. Even the women.
2. They're short. Especially the women.
3. They're Scottish.

Dwarves are incredibly resilient. I had a carpenter with a mangled leg that got possessed, he got up, walked (slowly) to the workshop, gathered a heckload of materials and made a basalt bed.
