[ADVENTURE MODE] What the hell does...
« on: September 25, 2013, 07:31:44 pm »

Embrace do?

Well yes, I'm the only person who doesn't know how to play Dwarf Fortress mode yet so I play Adventurer.

I tried out a Vampire Mage and tested out its skills, theres one skill called Embrace....

When I cast it, I lapse in and out of consciousness and eventually die of suffocation. There is no targeting. What kinda sick joke is this? (or maybe it's a bug)

It's probably an adventure-only bug, since Meph doesn't test adventure mode.

Guess that makes the entire vampire mage thing kinda pointless then if there is no vampirism involved...

But it's alright! Guess it'll be fixed in a few patches. Thanks for clarifying.

The fortress AI uses the Vampires Embrace to insta-kill an enemy, didnt knew that adv.-mode targetting would target yourself.

I think you need to post this in the general Adventure mode. I don't think anyone else has succeeded in drinking his own blood to death yet.

Blue Dwarf has been happy lately. He did some !!science!! recently. He admired a fine forum post lately. He was enraged by a forum troll recently. He was upset by the delayed release of the new version of Dwarf Fortress lately. He took joy in planning a noble's death recently.

Haha, try it for yourself. You literally just fall into a coma and die. No bleeding, no nothing, just suffocation.

start up adventure mode then make a Vamp Mage and cast embrace, enjoy trip back to the main menu :)

Targets A and kills it, targets B (yourself) and removes BLOODSUCKER for a while. In the end it should result in a vampire mage that is a bloodsucker and now and then sucks your dwarves dry, but if he has been in combat and killed an enemy, he doesnt need blood for a while.

I guess this is just a bug report then, Embrace in adv mode kills yourself!

Free cyanide pill, but Panic button on Fire mage is also a cyanide pill too (you always melt :) )

That interaction will never, ever be used. Any ATTACKs with a SELF_ONLY go unused. Always. Also, it's missing LINE_OF_SIGHT, which I think is why it doesn't work in adventure mode.
