Are fingers required to grasp?
« on: December 23, 2013, 06:14:00 am »

I am mainly asking this because I want to know if it is possible to permanently kill zombies.

No, to the best of my memory you don't needany fingers or thumb to grasp. The hand is quite enough

I always enjoy getting those immigrants that are like "I can make soap and potash and lye and cheese and-" then I cut them off with a "Hope you like bricks!" as I turn them into a mason.

If you manage to temporarily kill them, magma burns the corpse just fine

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

Wait what? I don't get how this is relevant. Does not being able to grasp insta kill zombies or something?

I am pretty sure you can still get a zombie hand without the fingers.

Necromancers or terrain reanimates anything that had 'head' or 'grasp'. Hair and skin (aside from the whole head if decapitated) had a connection to the head and possibly a grasp item, so reanimate.

If a hand has the grasp tag, independently of the fingers, it'll be eligible for reanimation even if all fingers are chopped off.
