So, I'm trying to come up with a blood transmitted syndrome with two possible outcomes. One outcome is fatal and the other is supposed to be a boon of an extended life and better healing rate (I know I can do this via body transformation). How might one go about achieving this sort of ratio, if it even can be?

Hmm... I'd go with "100% chance of the good effects, 50% chance of death".
Dwarf death is easily done with a high-severity medium-duration paralysis (suffocation). I guess delay the start of transformation until the paralysis-death window is closed.

Ooh, this is good. Thanks for the advice!  Though I'm also wondering how it works with doing the same via interaction. If there's any real difference.

EDIT: That and I'm intending to use necrosis for theme.

interaction's I_EFFECT having ADD_SYNDROME makes the interaction glue a syndrome to the target,

cat licking the tainted blood off a dwarf, should cat get the syndrome?
Does it spread when in blood-tainted pool?

Right now I'm going for the ingestion route, with transformations (for the moment) only happening to the 'sentient' creatures such as dwarves. Basically like how vampire blood works in vanilla.

Im trying to figure out how to uplift a specific creature to be able to join civiliziations and be playable in adventure mode but not create their own civs, how would I go about doing this

[EternalCaveDragon]

You'll want the LOCAL_POPS_PRODUCE_HEROES tag in that case, according to the wiki.

Thats all it takes? what about the intelligent tag?

[EternalCaveDragon]

That probably helps, yeah.

[Metaltooth]

Will they wear clothes and take up jobs or are they just gonna hang around civilized areas and just mosey around

[EternalCaveDragon]

If they have the INTELLIGENT tag and can join civs, then they're gonna be wearing clothes in all likelihood. Otherwise the animal people in (primarily) elven civs wouldn't wear clothes and armor I'd imagine.

[Metaltooth]

Alright this helps a lot! Im gonna try and plug this in and get it running. Thanks for the help man

[EternalCaveDragon]

No problem man.

The EQUIPS tag decides if they wear clothes, double check they have that.

How vanilla animal people cause syndromes by shooting blowdarts?

It comes special with the subterreanean entity, they're hardcoded with pre-existing equipment to sit around those little campfires underground.

How make special material body parts for creature? Example obsidian talons, rock shell and gnomeblight vomit.
