That's pretty messed up. Imagine the moral implications of a world where by random chance you or your neighbors child is born into a life where his entire purpose of existence is to one day be used as a suicidal bioweapon.

The moral implications are that THIS IS DWARF FORTRESS!!! *smacks poster with elven baby*

Darkrider strikes TheeBaconman in the head with his Elven Baby, shattering the skull and tearing the brain.

TheeBaconman has been struck down!

I thought this was gonna be more along the lines of setting a Noble on fire and dropping him down a shaft onto some booze barrels to burn any hostiles going through there.

Can you make the syndrome cause instant nobility and nobility-instilling gas? That would create a shockwave of demands across the fortress if dwarves are near each other.

That sounds like the Zerg.

Discussing morals? On the Bay12 forums?

You know that won't go anywhere, right?

[Akura]

To Weaponise something it means to use it as a weapon, so therefore you now have a Sworddwarf using the Noble as his sword...

That actually worked in the season finale of Panty & Stocking. Dualwield, in fact.

Spoiler: Explaination (click to show/hide)

Corset, the main bad guy, grabbed Scanty and Kneesocks(both of whom act like nobles) and turned them into swords. Then again, he really only used them as meatshields when Garter pulled out a giant machinegun from his afro.

I CAN DO IT.

So far I have created a poisonous blood for dwarves and will test it out shortly. If I have that, I can work it into the caste system and then... (wink) we all want Nobles to have blood at 11000 Urists that causes blisters, bleeding and necrosis on contact, don't we?

So what syndrome tags should I give the Noble's blood?

[Sarda]

All the syndromes. Aaaaaaaall oooooooof theeeeeeeem.

[flieroflight]

noble blood- contact poison,
primary effect- turns affected dwarfs into nobles
second effect, heavy bleeding, shortest non instant delay possible.
tertiary effects- every other syndrome at mak severity, happens 100 frames or so after bleeding happens.

should result in an epidemic of dwarfs being nobleified, bleeding, spreading the sydrome and then dying horrifically.

"OH ARMOK HE JUST EXPLODED-- Wait. I... I... I demand EARRINGS. AAAAAAAARGH!" (he explodes, repeat cycle for surrounding dwarves)

[flieroflight]

thats my entire point.
bonus points if you then mod this to happen to elfs

Yeah, I only posted that to see all the replies about how morals mean nothing here.

Also, I suppose the noble bioweapon is the dwarven equivalent of going nuclear.

[Oliolli]

Try to somehow sneak in the nastiest syndrome from a GCS bite (from the wiki): "Being eaten by the GCS".

But seriously, is there any other internet community out there that would actually, seriously plan to make a nuclear baron warhead?
