[Judas Maccabeus]

Yeah, I'm afraid this adventurer's days are pretty much done, get him back to a town and retire him.  He's now pretty much... 'armless.

bite attacks are a lot better at killing stuff than hands

best example of this would be the carp 

[Vester]

Standard bite attacks are only 1:2, though. And I don't think humans and dwarves can latch on when they bite.

[Leafsnail]

Give mouths the [GRASP] tag.

Yeah, I know it's a terrible idea.  Your dwarves will fight off enemies with crossbows held in their mouths.  But something about it is too funny to pass up.

[Bricks]

I'd say wolf bites are more familiar to the typical adventurer.  I survived a wolf ambush today by fighting until my sword arm was disabled, jumping in a pond to wait out my TIRED, all while leading the 2-3 unharmed wolves in circles around the pond trying to attack me.  Jumped out, picked up my sword, and proceeded to throw it at attackers.  God, I love throwing weapons.  Adventure mode will become insane when non-severing damage isn't insta-healed on traveling.

It'll be hilarious. Like adding grasp to to your upper torso.

I carry around a stack of Iron Bolts just for that purpose. If I get ambushed by wolves near a river, I jump in, swim to the other side, and pitch bolts at them until they're all disabled. Then I cross the river and start praticing my wrestling.

In the distance of one square on the travel map it would get healed anyway.

[Domini0n]

so wait, do you need swimming skill to get out of water as well? No ramps necessary?

[Vester]

You only need ramps if you have zero/dabbling swimming skill, I think.

So, a broken arm will be magically set, healed, and back to its original strength after traveling a few hours west?  I hope not.  Kills my dreams of dragging a near-death adventure to the nearest town.

I believe the current arrangement stems from the fact that otherwise there's pretty much nothing to do about a severe injury other than "Wait a very long time".

Or, you know...

Die.

And I don't think humans and dwarves can latch on when they bite.

But they do (or humans at least)!  I've done this personally (don't remember why or how, I think one or both of my arms were broken and I had my combat preferences set to close combat) and while you've latched on, there is an option in the wrestling menu that says "Shake [body part] with mouth" that allows you to tear off chunks from your enemies.  About two battles later I discovered I still had harpy chunks in my mouth.  It was disgusting and awesome!

Edit:  Let me see if I can reproduce this and post a screenshot.  Basically your arms have to be disabled or otherwise occupied, and you have to set attack preferences to close combat, and I think that does it.

[KaziArmada]

You stil have one good arm, right?

Train yourself up, then make a comeback, Pulling peoples arms out of their sockets with your single good one.

Also...Monthy Python Scared you? Hell, that movie has the LEAST bloody and horrific dismemberment I've ever seen in a movie...
