I know that axes increase the chances of lopping off limbs, but is there any good way to remove more limbs?  There's no way to order troops to go limb-cutting...

[agatharchides]

I've heard a 50 Z-level drop does wonders in that department, but I have never tried it personally.

20-z does as well. However I recommend 50 just because 
Though both of them will kill the previous owner of said limbs (just as your soldiers though). You could also try serrated disks, they give victim a chance, but they also have only a chance to lop limb.

[Armoks Haste]

If I remember correctly, you can butcher the limbs of sentient beings if the dismemberment occurred before the death of the unfortunate sentient.

You want to sell ☼Lavish Elven Merchant Left Leg Meal☼ to next years caravan before hunting them for sport with ☼Elven Merchant Bone Crossbow Bolt☼, don't you?

You're sick.
I'm proud.

Incidental question: Are there any creatures that can regenerate in DF yet?

[Girlinhat]

Actually, I just modded [ETHICS_BUTCHER_SAPIENTS:ACCEPTABLE] and now my guys butcher anything except my own dwarves and pets.  I'm currently training up a bowyer to make ☼Elf Bone Crossbow☼ for my archer squad, who will be clad entirely in ☼Elf Leather Armor☼ and ☼Elf Leather Cloak☼

You give necron flayers a good run for their money. Wearing the skin AND using their body parts as a weapon?!?

[Shurikane]

This should be built into the game.

Thats why you place the serrated disk traps on a precarious bridge over a 50 z lvl drop. And I've done it to numerous animals, it works rather well. I've only done 20 or 30 levels though but it worked just fine for me. I count goblin as an animal by the way.

Playing in adventure mode suggests that battle-axes and swords are both pretty good de-limbing tools.

However, surprisingly enough picks turn out to be REALLY good de-limbing weapons, at least against mid-small foes such as goblins. Quite good weapons overall too, as they aren't as easy to mitigate with armor as the axes and swords are. Best yet, your mining skill seems to be used as the primary weapon skill, though I'm not certain to what degree this carries over between adventure mode and dwarf mode.

Bad weapons for de-limbing are any blunt weapon (which includes whips), and most pointy weapons such as spears and pikes - those can sometimes remove very thin extremities such as hands, but not much else.

One weapon with stats suggesting decent de-limbing potential are Scourges - but I've never really had an opportunity to test them, so I can't say with any certainty. I'm not sure if they have enough penetration depth.

To quote a bomb squad technician I once knew, "too much is juuuuust about right."
