I was wondering how many serrated discs it takes to instantly kill a dwarf, and how many levels.

[Garath]

serrated discs: depends on the armor, same for falling actually

[Hyndis]

A single disc makes 3 separate attacks. You can stack up to 10 discs per trap, so up to 30 attacks per trap.

Recall that scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

They're kind of like that.

[Garath]

green glass serrated discs tend to bounce off harmlessly from any (metal) armor though. They're still very effective in dismembering anything because hardly anyone comes by with full metal plating everywhere

so, to restate my original point: it all depends on the armor your target has - it also helps with falling damage

serrated discs also don't test well outside the arena as they tend not to work on dwarfs and when they do there are other factors messing the measurements - stun, webbed, unconcious.

At least falling damage is easier to measure
maybe this helps:
