The mayor is still the mayor, however, and still can't put any of his items away without his arms. As long as democracy works, I can't bring myself to bring the cancel spam to a merciful end. He kinda reminds me of a 40d cat trying to put things into stockpiles.  :)

My mayor is also armless. I'm wondering if it's possible to mod dwarves to grasp with their mouths, just so she can finally Store Owned Item.

One of my soldiers got his arm torn off by an ettin, but he's still serving in the military. I like to imagine that he's doing it to protect his family, which warms my heart  :)

Shame he'll most likely die a horrific death due to the missing arm.

Picture a dwarf, warrior, mechanic, or some other incredibly useful profession. Now picture him dead. That's what infections do.
[NOPAIN] no gain.

Adding [GRASP] to mouth does the trick, I'd imagine.

It will be a hero's death. Fighting bravely to the end, even with a missing arm. He and his family should be well rewarded on his death. As a testament of the Dwarven spirit!

Depends, really. My militia commander lost his hand very early on, and when I abandoned after 15-odd years, he was still both enrolled and alive. I rather like to think of it as one less limb that can be stabbed, and therefore, one less limb susceptible of causing OMFGPAINimmapassoutnao.

My militia commander went into a martial trance and killed 7 werewolves.
He more or less saved my fortress. When i saw his injuries, and saw he had a mortal wound, i started making a GIANT tomb.

Next thing i know, i see that the dwarf has struck down a spider. Guess he healed!!

I a few months ago had the commander of my army decked out in all artifact armor and wepons and such except i never bothered to give him hand coverings of any sort so later during a goblin seige his hand got cut off and he mauled the goblins to death with his stubby arms  before retireing to teach other dwarfs how to fight for about a year before dieing from the infection he got in his missing hands

Similarly, though less impressive, I had a Dwarf with no skill in ambushing hunting because I had run, practically, out of food. Most shots were so miss that they didn't even count as misses in the combat reports but when he finally hit it was in the throat of a deer, causing it to gout blood and die two steps later. :D
