New Quest: FILL AN ENTIRE F*CKING FORTRESS WITH ALL LEGENDARIES!

And you can't eat them, either, sadly. Even though it'd make sieges so much more fun; dwarves lining the walls, drooling and carrying sharp knives and forks, ready for the upcoming meals.

I await your progress reports. One is enough for me. I might take on my solitary confinement challenge next, though.

Who said I was going to do it? I was going to hire a bunch of brain-dead retards from the nearest mental facility to do it in a weird cross between a sweatshop and a slaughterhouse!

Er, Varkarrus.

Re-read what you just wrote, and consider what it makes you appear to think of Martin.

Then realize that even if you had phrased it better, talking about "brain-dead retards from the nearest mental facility" makes you look childish.

If he lives long enough, I can imagine several rare challenges that he'd be uniquely suited to.

That's borderline racist.

(but I gotta admit, 30 chinabytes of memory is impressive!)  ;D

Would it be possible to have him train the combat skills while a hunter and thus not lock him into perma-military?  Might have to mod cross-bows for each weapon skill.

Skills define the profession of a dwarf. So it doesn't matter at all where the skills come from - once he hits rank 15 he becomes a Hero and he's permanent military.

I will need to test it, but I seem to remember having hunters who were legendary marksdwarfs without becoming champions.

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

Do please, because that's not the currently accepted model.  (If you do find such, PM me.)

This is true, you can get legendary weapon skills without becoming a hero/champion, provided you have a way to train those weapons outside of military.

Yes, my understanding is that activation for the military is a separate thing. Skills don't automatically draft someone. Once you activate them, it's permanent, however.

Ah - so a dwarf can be "eligible" to become a hero, but doesn't until he is Activated for the Military.  Interesting distinction.

So our hero (small "h") Morul could become a legendary Marksdwarf without being locked out of civilian jobs.

Correct. But what's the fun in that?
