All forms of growing life (not animals, usually), are the enemies of rocks.  They are therefore the enemies of mountains, and therefore dwarves.

You ever seen a tree split a road? Crazy cracks and bumps.

Can we collect them from dying creatures and use them to MAKE stuff?

More durable shoes and boots.

A fortress built entirely out of Kitten souls would be cool.

Since I pretend that the coffins I put in the nobles rooms cause him horrid dreams, I'm really hoping this WILL allow hauntings and such.

Easy enough to add souls.  Mod the "humanoid" body shape to include a "soul" in the upper torso, and make it mandatory for living(or not).

Then you'll see your dwarves with injured and destroyed souls.

Do something similar to the new version.  Optionally, store it inside the heart or between the lungs.

Quote from: Edward Elric
What's a soul, really?  You take out the myth, it's just the spark that starts life.  This is our blood.  From her blood.  That's a fair trade.

Andir and Roxorius "should" die.

Yes, actually, I am trying to get myself banned.  I wish Toady would quit working on this worthless piece of junk and go back to teaching math.

Definetly not mandatory for living seeing as I've had a Soul for quite a while now

As long as it's not a Soul, you're probably still OK.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

it would be interesting to add something like an internal organ and name it a "soul".

the hard part would be making it appear every time something died....although it would be quite pleasant to rip out an elf's soul and beat his body to death with it.

I tried to mod it so that when a creature died it would drop a soul but if I did that there was no corpse. I was going to have the soul be smelted with a bar of steel to make a stronger metal and stuff like that.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

Would it be possible to mod it so that souls, a part of the body, can only be damaged by certain attacks?

Have spectral undead who rip at your dwarfish souls.
