Werebeast abilities?
« on: July 29, 2015, 03:29:59 pm »

The Dwarf Fortress Wiki is too vague. It says that some werebeasts (in wereform)  can use a weapon and a shield, some only a one-hand weapon or a shield, and some cannot use any of those. Very little specific information.

So my questions are: Which werebeasts can use weapons, which cannot? Do certain werebeasts have any special abilities, like having sharper claws? At least, which werebeasts do you guys know of for certain?


At the moment, I fail to see the general logic. I didn't think weremammoths can hold weapons (just look at an elephant's front foot in real life), but then I saw a thread about stealth weremammoths smashing unsuspecting dwarves with hammers.

The only specific information in the wiki is this: "Weregophers for example can use either a shield or a one-handed weapon, but not both, and may even equip crossbows as well as quivers and bolts."

Also, it seems werelions cannot use weapons, but are still dangerous (I don't know, size and strength maybe).
