Hmm, looking over things, am I going to be able to use the hair tissue template as is or do I need to make a custom hair tissue that has [MUSCULAR] and [FUNCTIONAL]?
This is what I've got so far, I'm sure I've gone woefully off-course, since I'm rusty as all get out.
[BODY:BEARD_DWARF]
[BP:DWF_BRD:dwarf beard:STP]
[CON:HD]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:HAIR:HAIR_TEMPLATE] - Honestly, no idea what I'm on about here.
[GRASP][LIMB] - prehensility for the full range of wrestling moves or would I need an upper beard for the LIMB and a lower beard for the GRASP? Can a body part be GRASP, LIMB, and DIGIT?
[SIGHT][SMELL][HEAR] - special dwarf senses
[BREATHE][MOUTH] - because why not eat/drink & breathe with your beard? (EMBEDDED & APERTURE too?) Would this enable beard biting?
[CATEGORY:BEARD_DWARF]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:160] - about the size of both dwarf hands. Maybe bump it up to 200 or split it into ~100 parts if I need to separate it out for the LIMB and GRASP stuff.
It seems, at least, that punching will automatically be added to the prehensile beard simply by adding [GRASP] to it?
Or I could make a fistbeard attack, I suppose.
[ATTACK:BEARDFIST:BODYPART:BY_CATEGORY:BEARD_DWARF]
[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:beardfist:beardfists]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100] - maybe around 30-50% contact?
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND]
[ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH]
if you do this, go one step further and make the beard the only thing necessary for a dwarf to live.
Well, I suppose I could give them the ability to eat(?), breathe, smell, see, and hear through their beards, but I don't think I want to make them have thinking beards, since I think that'd mean they'd be really vulnerable to insta-death from getting socked in the beard.
