Hehe, yeah. Plus, extra ammunition. Especially with arms - "Flying Punch!". :)

Reading Toady's latest stuff, I'm all of a sudden really hoping that goblins start turning up with poison arrows.  I don't know why.

In a fat-fingered moment while setting up another military squad I accidentally created a captain of the guard rather than a militia captain.  His squad of near-legendary hammerdwarves equipped with high quality silver hammers then took it upon themselves to dispense justice to all the mandate breakers in the fortress.  It was quite messy.

The blow dart gun might actually serve a purpose.

Are poison blowguns more in line with goblins or kobolds.

Kobolds. And if I remember right, they were the only ones who had them.

This warrants a question. How will poisons/weapon coatings operate in dwarf mode?

Will there be a Poison Weapon job at the Alchemy workshop?

 I'm thinking the soldiers would do it themselves. They would go to the local poison stockpile and dip their weapon in it. Or smear it over the weapon, whatever.

Yeah that makes sense. It could work like in the game called Majesty. Thieves were poisoning their weapons "automatically" in that game.

seems like a Y/N on the unit screen.  'Dwarf Poisons Weapon?'

How much fun will this be with sparring?

Considering we could have them smear their weapons with antibiotics, anaesthetics or even healing salves, sparring could be less dangerous.

 Or more horrible.

 "Alright dwarves, smear your weapons with blood."
 "Won't we do that on the battlefield?"
 "Nay, they need to see the blood on our weapons before we get 'em! We have an image to maintain."

Adventure mode characters had better be able to smear things on their weapons too. I can see a new contest: The adventurer with the greatest variety of poison, blood, ichor and vomit encrusted onto their axe wins!
