I have a modded creature with the following attacks:

[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTOKEN:RF1:swipe at:swipes at:4:10:SLASH][ATTACKFLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTOKEN:LF1:swipe at:swipes at:4:10:SLASH][ATTACKFLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTOKEN:RA_W:slash at:slashes at:3:8:GORE][ATTACKFLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTOKEN:LA_W:slash at:slashes at:3:8:GORE][ATTACKFLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:MOUTH:bite:bites:2:6:PIERCE][ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH][SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT:50:100]
[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTOKEN:LB:bodyslam:bodyslams:8:20:BLUDGEON][ATTACKFLAG_WITH]

Will it use the attacks in that order, a random order, or pick one attack off the list? There's an entry in the vanilla raws that makes me think that multiple main attacks are used all at once, but I'm not too sure. I can't check due to a slow computer and zero experience with Adventure Mode.

On a semi-unrelated note, does the [EQUIPS] tag allow a creature to pick up and wield a weapon left behind by a fortress dwarf?

If I remember correctly, enemies pick a random attack, so adding the same attack multiple times makes it more likely to be chosen.

And [EQUIPS] will let them pick up dwarf equipment, but they can only use the stuff if they're the right size.
Example: if the max size of a weapon is 8, and the monster is size 10, it won't be able to use the weapon.

[Untelligent]

Weapons have a minimum size, not a maximum size.

And yeah, I'm pretty sure they pick main attacks at random.

[ein]

No max size? So that means a titan could wield a tiny dagger looted from a kobold?

[Vattic]

To pick bits of the kobold from his teeth hopefully.

I'd imagine it picks between the secondary attacks randomly also, when no main attack is possible?

If you have a creature that can kick or punch as its main attacks and bite as its secondary attack by default it would randomly pick between kicking and punching. If it lost its arms would it only kick? If it looses both arms and legs I'd imagine it would bite but I wonder if only loosing one main attack might cause a creature to use its secondary, anyone know?

[Sutremaine]

Shame. I was hoping to tear off a couple of bodyparts and paint the floor before throwing the rest of the dwarf at the nearest object (or just steamrollering it on the way to the next target). I'll up the damage to compensate and double up on the gore and slash attacks. They're already very fast, so the relative number of attacks isn't a problem.

No max size? So that means a titan could wield a tiny dagger looted from a kobold?

Insult to injury. Sure, the titan could just squash you, but why make the effort? And for a bronze colossus, killing dwarves with the hangnail from hell is just good sport.
