How to rip off limbs/appendages
« on: October 07, 2008, 12:13:11 am »
How does one rip of legs and arms? or is it even possible? I know npcs can do it, like giants or wolves, but is it possible for an adventurer to do so?

I think at this point it needs an attack with the [ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH] tag.  So, get your arms broken, then bite your enemy and shake them around.  If you're strong enough, you'll sometimes rip limbs off with your mouth.  You can then throw them at other foes.  Fun!

If you don't mind using a weapon, get a sword or axe and hack limbs off.

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

I just tried that. Either I added wrong, or I just wasn't able to get my dwarf to latch on.

What's your attack code look like?

I have a monster with:
[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:GRASP:claw:claws:3:6:GORE] [ATTACKFLAG_WITH] [ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH]

It seems to work all right, although I usually encounter them by getting ambushed in the middle of a large pack, and torn immediately to shreds, so it's kind of hard to tell.

And thus did the dream of dwarven antigravity fade away, not with a massive explosion or a flood of magma, but with a whimper.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.

Armor and shield skill is key to surviving the severely improbable wolf populations.

Seriously though, I've encountered packs of a dozen wolves every 3 map tiles before. What the hell do all of those wolves EAT? (adventurers, I guess...)

Natural selection in the end though. Whatever adventurer doesn't wind up killed by them winds up so uber that you can slaughter them all in 3 turns of counterstrikes.

Now that ain't a bad idea. I'm off to make a 12 armed, six headed (to make up for the miasma breath) dragon and play as him in adventure mode!

Don't forget the lack of organs, and no bleed and such.

Playing as a fearless, tireless, hungerless, thirstless robot with CANLATCH claws was great fun. I beat whole parties of elves to death with their arms after I ripped them off. And set them on fire. And threw them at children.

Oh man, I love you, [ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH].

P.S.
