Does Armless = Useless?
« on: August 29, 2009, 11:09:40 pm »

So I just created a human adventurer and, not having spawned with a weapon, decided to steal one from a spearmaster. No worries, i got it from him and ran for the hills and after a close wolf fight later (I have no training in spear so it was a toughy) I encountered a bear. It latches but I attempt to break away and then attack. In one simultaneous action the bear latches onto my arm and rips it off as I pierce its lungs and heart. Huzzah! I killed the bear!
...then passed out instantly for god knows how long. Now I did manage to fast travel away but I have no toughness and am constantly passing out. Will my stat increase from this or is my one legged friend doomed to be wolf bait?

p.s. I regret to inform you readers that I didn't manage to retrieve my arm, so no children clubbing...

You should just make a new one. You'll be passing out constantly until you're a lot tougher.

Alternatively, train throwing skill somewhere safe for a while. Then sneaking.

It makes me wonder how a adamantine clad adventurer can sneak in a grey background

Don't try to train swimming, though. For obvious reasons.

no worries, I encountered a cougar and I passed out right in front of it. I'm just building a bridge to an island now so that a future adventurer/fort can use it

Toss in legless as well, and you should be able to bite the kneecaps off of kings and knights. ;D


Meh... Just a flesh wound.

Eh, I modded my Dwarves to do 10-10 BLUDGEON damage with their hands (After trying out both BURN and GORE damage, both boring.).

You could change the Human bite attack to do high amounts of SLASH damage maybe?

Um, if an image would fit in a PG rated movie isn't anything important.  Just no bigoted language and nothing sexually explicit.  Plus, you should probably get yourself a copy of Monty Python and The Holy Grail, because if you don't recognize 'Just a flesh wound' you have some edumacatin' to do.

Watched it as a little kid and I couldn't sleep for a month. I haven't really bothered to watch it again.

That's why I said it.

What about the scene in the tower place? The one with the grail-shaped lightbulbs?
That's fairly sexually explicit.

Excuse me when I say What the hell are you all arguing about?

On topic, make a new adventurer, unless you are particularly attached to this one, or you modded him to have 50 arms.

IIRC other then a single two word phrase it's extreamly non-explicit. A whole lot is implied. But very little is actually outright stated.

Firstly, MPATHG is actually a 15, not that it matters in any way, shape or form, since the picture posted is fine.
