I modded in a megabeast(its made of pure death) and was doing some tests with it and well..

Should your lower body be able to fly off in a bloody arc?

I know limbs should be able to be the lower body I'm slightly confused on.
I think I may have put the damage a little too high and its size a little too big.

Full combat logs are in the spoiler.

That is one hell of a bite.

[umiman]

It happens. The one that doesn't "fly off" is your upper body.

Hm. I can imagine an über-powerful hammerdwarf smacking an unfortunate goblin in the groin so hard that its spine snaps and it is rent in twain, legs and lower torso thrown away by the force of impact and the uper body hanging in the air for a moment, Wile E. Coyote-style, before tumbling to the ground.

However... lower body flying off from the force of a bite in the same region? A bite powerful enough to go straight through the target and split it in two still probably wouldn't cause much of an arc. Right now I believe the damage messages for lopped off body parts are the same regardless of the type of damage that caused it, maybe they shouldn't be? *shrugs*

it could have been one of those wird oposed madables spider thingys.

I have also seen "cleaved in twain" for a lower body critical. It seems like this should be the message for severed lower bodies.

Then again, an "upper arm" should just be an arm if the lower part is still attached. Lots of strangeness in DF combat.

The upper arm flies off with a lower arm and a hand.
I mean, the game does not have "bodypart sets". It's how you define the body structure and it can't "find out" the "arm" word out of nowhere (there's "upper arm" and "lower arm" bodyparts, but there's no "arm" bodypart there).
