Would it be possible to mod in testicles, that can be lost in battle, that would stop the dwarf from reproducing? Thus tying that body part to that action, in a similar fashion to those if he loses both arms.

The only thing that would do is give hostiles lower chance of stabbing his heart out or something important like that since the hostile rolls more parts on its' turn.

Ah.

Otherwise it would be a neat feature for roleplaying. He got stabbed in the crotch and thus can't have children. Though I realize it would make dwarves harder to kill.

It is sick that he requests a natural body part that wouldn't allow the species to survive if it didn't exist to be added in for realism if he loses them?

Damnit, grow up.

I'm just looking for a way for permanent damages to add more into the roleplaying aspects of it.

Yeah, unfortunately there is no tag that ties reproductive function to a body part.  That might change in the future, though:

# Req509, CASTRATING ANIMALS, (Future): Dwarves should be able to castrate male animals. Spaying female animals might be beyond the ability of dwarves to do reliably.

This was also a feature I had in mind. Thank you very much for showing me this. Imagine an eunuck army.

I believe the "sick" part is the idea of a dwarf getting his testicles obliterated in battle. "Good thing it was only these handy new testicles that got mangled! It could have been my third finger, left hand, and then I wouldn't be able to work!"

Hahaha that would be awesome. Capturing elves, castrating them and forcing them into servitude. A god bless good ol' Egypt.

This is an exceptionally made iron helmet. It menaces with spikes of native platinum. Is encircled with bands of agate. On the item is an image of testicles in dog leather.

This is an engraving of two testicles, the symbol of a local dwarven authority.

Urist McFemale likes iron, steel, plump spawn, dwarven wine, dwarven ale, the color jasper, testicles and cows for their haunting moos.

Also, testicles are considered a delicacy in many parts of the world!

I imagine they're like those midget tomatoes. Firm exterior, all round and smooth - then you bite down and they explode in liquid and seeds in your mouth ...

... and that just doesn't sit right with me at all man.
