I'm trying to make a pit trap for a certain dwarf, but I'm not exactly sure how. I'm digging a channel at the moment, but I don't want the miner dwarves to accidentally get themselves stuck there. Also, how do I actually drop him?

[ikachan]

First you dig a room or something then from above you dig channels in and build a bridge over top. Put your dwarf on the bridge and pull the lever. To get the dwarf on the bridge assign it as a burrow and tell him to go there.

I hate channeling because 12 times out of 10 I will cause I cave in.  So I always build my death pits upwards.  Constructed up/down stairs upwards from the surface to the sky.  Then a bridge at the top for "advanced child training".  Then a constructed floor with hatches for pitting prisoners next to it.

With the new physics I have to add upright spear traps at the bottom to ensure fatality.  These days 10z falls just make dwarfs bounce instead of splat.

you could always just drop them again

Or make a 20z trap? OR  a moat at the btm to drown them.

I find the new physics most suitably dwarven.

Sure, a 10 z level fall makes a goblin bounce. But a dwarf breaks his neck (or better, both legs) from 1 z-level. Fml.
