So I was thinking...And thats never a good sign!
What if we were to have a dwarf fully equip in fire proof items, such as fire imp leather, then give him a wooden training sword, and then somehow light the sword on fire.

Could we, in theory, have a dwarf fighting with a flaming sword that lights others on fire but NOT himself?

[darkrider2]

No, because a dwarf isn't smart enough to keep the !!firesword!! away from his beard.

[Max White]

He doesn't need the beard! BURN IT OFF!

In the name of DWAVEN SCIENCE!

Max, there are limits to what we do here. Even in the name of dwarven science.

[Max White]

Oh come on, women, humans and clowns seem to get along without them.

[Rumrusher]

why not use the flames of a [insert custom creature here, maybe a forgotten beast] and make a flame sword from a reaction of the material.
still I don't know wrapping the sword in fire imp leather would protect the wielder but it will cause fire damage though.

[Coidzure Dreams]

It's just... I think it's too dark a thought to contemplate, even for Armok. @_@

[Max White]

Think of it this way.
You remember you last time you killed hundreds of dwarfs for science?



The beards were the first to burn, and they lived a good 30 seconds each before buring themselves without a beard. Times that by the 100 dwarfs, and that's 50 minutes worth of life that the dwarfs were without beards. About 49 minutes longer then the flaming sword dwarf will live.

[Flying Carcass]

You could just have the flaming sword dwarf be a female dwarf and bypass the beard issue entirely.

[Max White]

Yes but then the three children hanging off her will catch fire.

[Blackburn]

Yes but then the three children hanging off her will catch fire.

And that's stopped people before...?

[Coidzure Dreams]

Yes but then the three children hanging off her will catch fire.

And that's stopped people before...?

Merely more blood for the blood god.  Also, avoids the issue of beardicide.

[Jacob/Lee]

Oh come on, women, humans and clowns seem to get along without them.

Dwarven women have beards.
Humans aren't manly anyway.
Clowns, well, they deserve beards but I don't think blobs of ashes can grow a beard.

[Max White]

Yes but then the three children hanging off her will catch fire.

And that's stopped people before...?

Oh I don't care about the children, but the parent will freak out and stop trying to kill things, and things not getting killed makes me sad.

[Torchy]

Oh come on, women, humans and clowns seem to get along without them.

Dwarven women have beards.

Actually, they don't.
