Some help with Syndromes
« on: October 25, 2018, 11:38:57 am »

So I'm a complete newbie to making these sorts of things, but I decided to try my hand in making a specific kind of syndrome. The syndrome I am trying to make would boost attributes for one attack and then damage whatever you attacked with. ex: attack with arm, arm gets damaged. How would I make that work? Is there something I can put in the syndrome that would specifically target the limb you use for an attack or would that be something else entirely?

edit: also on a *cough* unrelated note how much force does it take to break the average dwarf bone?

I don't think you can.

Would there be some way to independently target a limb for damage, just in general?

Is it possible to make some kind of syndrome effect or generate some product (such as with an interaction) that would instantly damage whatever it is touching? My goal from the get-go is to simulate the One For All quirk from My Hero Academia into DF. Although, without the damaging effects it just becomes a super strength boost. What I was hoping to make this come out like would be it would deal X amount of force/damage to the limb you use so if you want to be able to use it effectively you have to train your body for it. If there is a better way of achieving this, I'd like to know since it is something I would really like to create.

Just make it cause full-body bruising or something.

So I made a small thing to test it out and it works for the most part and I wanted to see what you all think of this so far and where it can be improved.
Note that the bruise severity is ridiculously high because no matter what I seem to do I can only ever get light bruising.
