So I had an normal dwarf adventurer, then I drank vampire blood and become a vampire.

After that I was finding a hole full of animal men fighting between different species, so not finding the entry, I just let myself fall in. Knowing it was 2 z-levels deep, I thought it was no threat.

It tore up my spine, and I killed the remaining animal men with throwing. But I can't do anything else, i can't stand nor grasp, and my pushing attacks are harmless. Also since they had blowguns, I collected different venoms and killed them with that (partly)

Problem is that thrown venom may break bones, shatter skulls, and damage organs, but it doesn't seem to have any poison effect. Maybe I hit no arteries with it.

Also, I couldn't climb the ramp at the end of the tunnel which was FILLED with animal men. So I retired my adventurer and replayed it, now he's in town, still with a blue injury to the spine.

What can I do to heal that injury ? Tetraplegic vampires are boring to play, as i'm ridiculously slow and can only throw stuff to kill.

I think I should have let myself bitten by a werebeast. Seems I can't heal that spinal injury now.

[Flying Dice]

Yep. Unless you're a werebeast, spinal injuries are like diamonds.

[Archereon]

I thought vampires could survive spinal injuries just fine?

[Funk]

as in no chokeing.

There is a difference between "Survive" and "Not be permanently crippled by". Vampires will live more often because of their damage reduction bonus and because they don't need to breathe, not because their nervous system is immune to massive levels of damage.

[Naryar]

I got sick of it, and got as well absolutely trashed by bogeymen, but i survived. I couldn't see, so I though my eyes were gone, but after travelling it was fine.

So I threw my adventurer into a volcano. Then I couldn't do anything, and "gave up to starvation"

Yeah my vampire starved in lava

I am not sure about this and its too late, but for the sake of the idea: shouldn't becoming a husk solve that, too? afaik they dont need nerves at all - i guess they should be able to move without them, too. so, maybe next time try evil mist instead of volcano...even though it was a demise with style, credits for you, sir.

Only in Dwarf Fortress.

The issue here is that you can't tell what an evil fog will do before wandering into it. Sure, you could become healed (at the cost of everything hating you forever), but it's more likely you'll turn inside out or something equally horrible.


... which sounds pretty dang dwarfy, not that I think about it.

wasnt this precisely the single reason to take those cannonfodder *cough* ...erm, peasants with you on a family trip to the evil swaps of die horrible?

[Flying Dice]

I'd be interested in the effects of taking a Runesmith'd character with maxed attributes into a mist that causes something like total body necrosis and seeing if they can survive it.

[TheLinguist]

There's a bigger issue with trying to intentionally husk a vampire adventurer: aren't vampires immune to that sort of thing?

Yup.
