I don't see any noble as useless, I see some as "more useful" though. All nobles except the Dungeon Master, Bookkeeper, and Hammerer I see as useful for haulers,cleaners,lever pullers, etc. While the Dungeon Master tames, Bookkeeper records stockpile records and the Hammerer gives out punishment.
Did you just say you...LIKE the Hammerer?!

Maybe the Hammerer keeps his FPS up.

Mu Countess just proved herself useful by throwing a kobold from a 10ish z height bridge. I think she's a keeper.

Tarran, th Sherrif is an unholy terror second only to the Hammerer. He/She's a - at best.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

I have to agree.  The only purpose of a Sheriff is to allow dorfs to be beaten or put in prison for 'crimes' like not making a bunch of steel goblets.  He doesn't even get a cool hat.

And I use the job manager to do most of my job orders, so in my eyes, the manager is right up there with the broker, bookkeeper and dungeon master.
