[Kagus]

Name: Great Kalah

Species: Sea Serpent
Gender: Male
Head Armour: Gold Helm (13)
Body Armour: Gold Mail Shirt (16)
Skills: Master Biter (89)

118 points, if I'm not mistaken.  All I have to deal with now is the fact that my character is a "Master-biter".


EDIT:  There are some faulty listings on the character sheet.  Orgrinder's leather fez should be 8 points, not 5.  NuNu's bronze helm is also valued the same as a copper helm.

I overlooked some parts, it seems... well, not even I know the formula perfectly, that means something.
Or I was just sleepy. Such is life in Dwarf Fortress.
Added everyone and recounted points all around.

Firemen are not immortal, i tried. 

FYI
Elementmen cant have skills. So you might want spend those 18 points on armor

And there can only be one true firemanwarrior! Gâsh will burn you to ashes

[Kagus]

...well shite, I think he's on to something.  I never even checked that.


It would appear that no one except CAN_LEARN creatures can acquire skills.  This means that all the animal and elementman characters are completely wasting their points on skills.

Uhh...  I think some urgent character revisions are in order...

[Jetsquirrel]

not even yeti? can't you jsut add the CAN_learn tag?

[Kagus]

It would appear that, no, not even yeti can acquire skills.

Trolls can learn, however, and they're only moderately smaller than yetis and sasquatches.  Plus, they have a better natural attack (goring people with their tusks).


This, of course, only makes the nightwing even more powerful.  I didn't really know what these things were until I ran a few tests with Zifnab's character. 

Damn dude...  Those things are evil.  They have a natural bite attack with the added bonus of sucking blood, they can grasp and wield weapons and wear armor, plus they are completely unaffected by pain, nausea, suffocation, or over-exertion from extended combat.

Furthermore, they have a relatively simple body plan, which means that the adamantine mail shirt he's wearing protects all his bodyparts except for his head, feet and hands.

Oh, yeah, and they have the CAN_LEARN tag.

EDIT:  And it also appears as though they don't bleed.  This means that the ONLY way to kill one is an instant-kill attack.

[Jetsquirrel]

WHY DID YOU SAY THIS THEY WILL ALL CHOOSE NIGHTWING NOW!

[Kagus]

Exactly.  And that's a problem, because it means that all the other interesting races will get neglected.

Blugh...  Do we dare suggest that yet another non-megabeast creature get banned?  Maybe there's another way around this...

[madjoe5]

Add can_learn to all creatures used just for the purpose of this project?

[SIGVARDR]

Exactly.  And that's a problem, because it means that all the other interesting races will get neglected.

Or people can simply use a race they like instead of trying to make themselves overpowered.Its just a simple forum game,nobody should take  it even remotely seriously.But of course they will take it seriously,and try and be the most overpowered.

Hey, I'm using an antman with a copper spear and a near-full set of wooden armor.

If it's any consolation.

[Kagus]

You've also got three shields.

Speaking of which, your character was a pain to test because of all the items I had to put on him.  Yikes.


Oh, also, why the sodding hell do elephants KICK?!  They've got two perfectly lethal ivory death-makers sticking out of their gob, and they insist on instead nudging people around with their stumpy little legs.

Crazy bastards.


Also, I've been considering the prospect of a dark gnome character.  Turns out, there may actually be a reason to take one...  But the problem is that if anyone so much as sneezes on him he shatters.  And since he has to use the same number of points as everyone else, he can't "skill up" to match the competition.

Still though, he managed to solo an unarmored elephant.  That's not bad.

[SIGVARDR]

I do find it fun to play the arena looking at the advantages and dis-advantages of each race.With the new armor and weapon system,it feels a bit more like an actual battle.Although it will be nice when we get armor that covers the face,neck,so forth.

I also can fly. Drone.
