MAGICAL

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It has other glitchy effects sometimes as well... like sometimes you act like a portal...
I demand screenies.  This sounds good.
Oh, I was just refering to that one time I got kicked by that horse and it hit some random shopkeeper(he wasent standing even close to me).

In any case I recommend playing a wizard to everyone here. You wont regret it.

Have you ever seen goblins wear troll leather items? I've been seeing them lately, and they're worth a good bit.

I have now added the [MAGICAL] tag to my play-able fire elemental (SoF), and it is indeed interesting.

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

I think I like your sig, especially since its a song... except with joints :-)

Of course, why else would dwarves risk life and limb to retrive one sock during a full scale siege onslaught.
The depressing thing is that they quite often lose life and limb(s) in the process.

You will be horribly disappointed when the ground hog army is utterly destroyed by 4 peasant children.

Will it also attract hostile wildlife (eg wolves, bears, ogres, harpies)?  Anyway, I'm gonna put this on my arachnid.  Should help kill more elves.

Yes, but rarely as they appear unfrequently around civs(as their in low savagrey areas). No they wont attack you.

I just noticed that if you die in a town and then start another adventurer, the dead one's gear is still in the town...

This makes me wonder if you can find his corpse. Especially with the people who were somehow desecrated after death, like being impaled on a stake.

I've been taking an adventurer from town to town, doing the usual slaughter-everyone-for-XP-and-loot routine.  On maybe the 10th town, I confronted the local leader in the mead hall as usual, killed him, and found on his body a masterwork iron right gauntlet, masterfully decorated with an image of myself killing another local leader.  Needless to say, I wear that gauntlet with pride.

I had no idea that events that happen during Adventure Mode could show up as artwork that quickly.  I hadn't even retired the adventurer or anything.  I guess it's because town items aren't created until you actually enter the town.

That is pretty damn awesome I must say. Now you just need to get a sword that shows you striking down humans with that very sword.

It is possible to find their corpses. After I took an expedition of meatshields companions to a dark fortress and got horribly murdered by a crossbowgoblin, I took another one there, succeeded in killing everything and found the spikes that my old adventurer and his group were impaled on. I recovered their bodies and threw them into the nearest volcano (it was a modded race that I used to carry them. I don't know if humans/elves/dwarves can carry that much weight)

Whoa.  I didn't know the corpse mutilations were anything more than Legends fluff.  I wonder if any others besides impalement show up in the game world.
