Atom Smasher (Catapult Mode)
« on: October 19, 2011, 08:56:22 pm »

Couldn't think of a very apt title, and I'm not sure that this even merits its own topic. Anyway...

If you fired two creatures off a bridge towards each other, would they collide in midair? I'm too lazy to test this mahself.

No.  Bridges only fling across the same level, in random directions (even drawbridges are random) and flying creatures are immune to everything.  Ergo, nothing happens.

 You could always line them up on one bridge leading off a cliff into an artificial magma pond or upright spears. That may produce the desired effect, depending on what you had in mind. Bonus points if you use serrated disks instead of spears for exta meat.

If a creature falls onto a weapon trap, it calculates fall damage THEN weapon damage.  If they fall onto an upright trap, it calculates weapon damage THEN fall damage.  Apply liberally to achieve maximum gibs.
