What do you think about re-attatching limbs or attatching limbs from other dwarves/creatures? I want my Frankendwarf!

While modern science is capable of reattaching fingers and such, I wonder if Dwarves could pull it off. Maybe if you have a Legendary Surgeon.

Frankensteinian creations strike me as more the realm of Surgeon macabre moods.

A dwarf would have no trouble pulling it off, but reattaching it...

Dressing wounds, diagnosis, surgery, setting bones, suturing and walking with crutches.

Wait, so that's 5 skills that a doctor will learn.  Does this mean that doctors will be super duper tough, mega ultra strong and amazingly fast?  Or will the skills count for a bit less than the other skills?

Also, am I the only one who thinks it could be a good idea to injure a potential soldier candidate, give him crutches and then let him train up his "Crutching" skill to get a nice attribute bonus?

I see what you did there.

Wow, there's a lot of support for the idea of fell / macabre mood surgery around. Has Toady actually said anything about whether there'll be such a thing? I can't find anything...

I thought it was just a joke, but I fully support the creation of a dwarfenstein during a mood.  I mean, imagine a doctor dwarf becoming fey, grabbing a dwarf, going away for a few months (having collected animal parts) and coming out with a fully functioning monster?

There's a mood-related bloat that could certainly incorporate surgery.  Sick operations could blur the line between surgery and butchery, I think.  It would be interesting if the two were linked in some future skill synergy system.

# Bloat237, EVIL ALCHEMY, (Future): Certain of the darker mood dwarves could take over alchemy shops and use the dwarven liver and so on.

It would be funny if you could have your aspiring surgeons practice on captured zombies. Then you could give whatever is left to your training wrestlers.

"Ok Jim, your new arm is all attached and ready to go after that training accident with the *Obsidian Shortsword*.  It might start grabbing for your head now and then, don't worry, it's just after your delicious squishy brains."

Attributes don't work that way anymore.  Somebody else will doubtless find the reference, but, in essence, you will get better at what you do and if you don't use an attribute, you will slowly lose it.

[Time Kitten]

yay, dwarvern entestry no longer involves lopping off the head.

As soon as amputations were mentioned, I thought a bug like that would be likely.

Haha, i meant the 'live' zombie minus all it's rotted limbs (i.e. all that's left is a head and torso) to strangle until they get legendary wrestling, not attaching zombie bits to them.

Heh, sometimes communication failures can produce really funny results.

Exploding plants: Trees struck by lightning can be very expolsive, Cacti and eucalipti go of like bombs and iirc theres even a plant that relies on miniature explosions to spread there seed thought i am not sure if the last one is true.

Depending on how you define an explosion, I can test something like tha is real: they grow in my garden, less than 30 meters away from were I'm sighting and typing this right now I think. It's not real chemical explosions in this case thou, it's a mechanical phenomena like some springloaded mousetrap, if you disturb a ripe one it breaks apart and curls up so fast and in such a way that it's a small pang (ok, more of a snap maybe) and it throws seeds everywhere. Going around poking them is endless fun for kids.

[LordZorintrhox]

Probably snap dragons Armok.  The pods have a crap load tension on the inside and there is a seam along the top that is very fragile.  Poking the end pops the seam and they curl up.

I don't know about chemically explosive plants, but plants that explode like that and spray poisonous spores everywhere would be cool.  Be a great hazard for the underground areas in mushroom form.

[smjjames]

There is a real world example, although not poisonous, the puffball mushroom.

Could be interesting for Adventure Mode. See some mushrooms growing in caves...

Actually, they could be fun for Dwarf Mode as well. Have plants auto-grow in caves. Maybe you could get a Tower Cap farm going without an UG pool that way.
