On the flip side, it's completely untreatable in adventure mode.

Yeah, the catch is that if you don't cut it off, it kills you eventually. It'd be a bigger deal if amputating rotten flesh took more time and effort than wrapping up a papercut. Or left the limb lame like a huge chunk of muscle missing from the bicep might do.

It's not amputation, it's excising.

If I have a BP around a portion of a limb (using a BDP), is that portion of the limb actually protected, or can attacks just target that limb portion directly and ignore the "shell" ?

EDIT: Also, if a creature has [HABIT:USE_ANY_MELEE_WEAPON] but only a few natural weapon skills, will it prefer weapons corresponding to those skills?

umm you see i'v not really been working on my creature bacause i was trying out master work mod but now i'm back on the thing so i should just add crazed to my species? having zombies be friendly to said species wouldint be TOO much of a problem and would a species with JUST opposed to life make them just kill eachover? EDIT can one make a diferent caste have difernt attacks? or syndromes?

It's your choice whether or not to add crazed to your species, and yes, attacks can be defined per caste.

Try crazed first, if they become non hostile after you get transformed, you will not need to try the undead part. In both case they will attack everything around them anyway.

if the BP is around an INTERNAL part then yes it will be protected, but naturally if something is inside another part it's protected anyways.

So if you have a normal exteral head, and wrap a "head shell" body part around it, they can still attack the head, but now if they damage the head shell it might get jammed into it's normal head too.

It's only because it's external that allows the bypass, small/embedded I think still allows targeting but much harder to hit/ less often targeted.
Some more science needs to be done on this manner (Like does an internal around an internal (skull to brain) always garentee protection)

Then which better simulates armor:

Having the limbs [INTERNAL] to armor bp's

OR

Just having an "Armor" tissue layer over everything?

right now I'm going with the armor tissue over the normal limbs. Cause nested interals looks weird in the logs "You stab the ogre in the breastplate fractuing the steel, tearing the upperbody, and tearing the upperbody's left lung"

So I'd go for tissues for now. and rename the limbs as armor pieces (Idk if more tissues makes lag or just more materials, since tissues can use the same material)

I dunno, by that combat log it sounds like the nested bodyparts would avoid the display issue that tissues have.

Right now I've got armor as bp's designed to go around existing humanoid BP's, but it looks like I'll have to build a sort of armor exo-skeleton and define a copy of the humanoid body with all the parts [INTERNAL] to the armor... oh well :P

Yeah the above raws I posted should speed up your work. As it's an armor exoskeleton.
