I once had a rather epic finishing move done on me by a goblin spearmaster.
I charged the spearmaster. He counterstriked, pierced my head, then stood on my twitching body and stabbed me through the heart. I was like, "...wow".

When your stats look like this:
You can do finishing moves like this:

How did you get your code to work? I can't seem to make that race playable.

Put that in a creature file, then make a new .txt document called entity_beast and put this inside that:

Code: [Select]
entity_beast

[OBJECT:ENTITY]

[ENTITY:DIVINE]
[INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
[CREATURE:LIVING_DIETY]
[TRANSLATION:ELF]

If you have more problems or need further clarification, you can PM me.

Catet, a character of mine, used to be normal. He would just slam the hell out of creatures with his war hammer like a good warrior would. But after a wolf took his left eye something inside him snapped. Then he started to kill hordes of wolfs by standing in one place and counterattacking until they're unconscious, after which killing them with rains of pebbles right after gouging their eyes out.

Once he killed a Giant Desert Scorpion by throwing sand at him. He got him in the head and bruised his brain.

...and after he eradicated a whole human town his title became "The Naughty Spurn of Straw". They somehow decided that he spitefully refuses wheat, obviously.

The poor farmers offered him wheat, and he killed them. He killed them all.

Techically they tried to feet him straw, which I don't think is generally made from wheat.  Don't confuse this.  It's almost annoying as saying ancient civilizations ate corn.

Isn't straw just the stalks of every single kind of wheat-like plant? He's not wrong.

Quote
Straw is an agricultural by-product, the dry stalk of a cereal plant, after the grain or seed has been removed. Straw makes up about half of the yield of cereal crops such as barley, oats, rice, rye and wheat.

Anyway, I noticed that when you give a weapon with [HEAT] damage high enough damage potential (around 200 damage), the corpses of your enemies will catch fire upon death. I took an adventurer out for a night in town with that weapon and it didn't take long for the whole town to burn to the ground as the adventurer built a mound of burning bodies as more and more children got added to the huge barbecue.

I thought Deon proved that [HEAT] couldn't ignite people on death.  Maybe he just didn't use enough oomph in his weapons?

Or maybe it has something to do with weapon/natural attack differences...

Technically, it isn't [HEAT]. It's [BURN] but I could never tell the difference between the two anyway. You can try it out for yourself. Almost everyone you kill will catch fire. They also always die one turn after getting hit regardless of where you hit them, it's kinda cool.

Code: [Select]
[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_FIREPIKE]
[NAME:scorching punisher:scorching punishers]
[DAMAGE:210:BURN]
[WEIGHT:200]
[SKILL:PIKE]
[CRIT_BOOST:4]
[TWO_HANDED:10]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:10]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:4]

My favorite is to grab head with a hand, pinch nose, decapitate.

It causes pain.  If you catch someone and pinch them repeatedly, they'll eventually give way to the pain, unless they don't feel pain or are really tough.

It also gives wrestling experience, as long as they're standing up.

I think I will just stick to strangling things then.
Plus pinching a enemy to death seems silly.
