While looking through the raws I saw that imps have a tag for leather

[LEATHER_HEATDAM_POINT:13000]
[LEATHER_IGNITE_POINT:13500]

I was wondering, if a dwarf had himself a full suit of leather comparable to the imp's skin would they be protected from fire? Or would they be crispy critters inside their undamaged armour?

Pretty sure it'd be the latter. After all, there's no option yet to create an airtight suit of armor out of a given material--otherwise, we'd have our diving suits!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that they'd fry inside their little suits.  However, it's definitely worth a try.

I was wondering, if a dwarf has a high enough heat tolerance (plus the [FIREIMMUNE] tag) so as not to be affected by magma, and is given automatic swimming, will he consider magma to be dangerous terrain?

I think a fortress with sections flooded with magma, and lots of little fire-dwarves wading through it, would be pretty awesome.

You could make a race of Azer that resist fire and magma but I think they'd end up epxloding beer barrels and all their stuff would burst into flame. (Azer and flaming dwarf like beings)

Bah, just let them drink distilled magma or something.  Or take out booze altogether.

Some high-heat "firewater" might actually be nice though, just make everything have a really high temperature tolerance.
