When I looked at the list of new features I was amazed, this will make DF even better. 

[Dr. Melon]

Arena Mod Testing things sounds AWESOME!
I can't wait to pit a Swordsdwarf against a giant rabbit that BLEEDS LAVA, and injects a poisonous powder.
This is going to be so awesome. I think this is going to be the update with the most new features since the 3D update....

You should watch Dev Now if you're interested in details and more frequent updates.

I don't know if making something bleed lava is possible yet. The venom certainly will. I just know someone will mod in a poison gland of some kind which could be useable by any creature.

You can make things bleed molten gold.  Bleeding molten stone is in.

Any chance we could get Unfinished Arena as a toy while we wait for the major update, or is it too deeply entangled with everything else? It looks to me as though many of the remaining items (health care, sites, positions, squads) aren't necessary for an arena to function.

But I'm no expert, just an anxious Dwarf Fortress junkie.

Really? cool, where does it say that though?

This may be a little ghoulish, but..

Could you alter the raws to make trees from a vascular material such as, say, entrails? If you do, will they bleed when you chop them down?

[CobaltKobold]

Um...Xylem. Though I think it's still all 'wood' at this point.

In today's dev_now Toady mentioned dragons with negative size becoming formless ghosts... What does this mean? If I give my dwarfs size -1 will they be immune to attacks and unable to attack... But still able to move things around and do non combat jobs...
Could we make a caste of elves... Like wisps, intangable but useful...

[smjjames]

I'm pretty sure he meant ghost as in literally a ghost. The thing wouldn't be able to interact (other than maybe speak or make noise), but it could still be visible and scare the hell out of anything.

Ghosts would be pretty cool from a RPing standpoint though.

Unfortunately vascularity is a property of a tissue, not a material, and trees/plants won't have tissues yet in the upcoming version.

My question about that is: Why is size kept as a signed value in the first place? My first guess is that negative size values are intended FOR things that are meant to be formless/ethereal or something like that, and my second guess is "whoops".

[Dr. Melon]

I can't wait to pit armies of modded creatures against eachother.
