Is it male or female?

[Ratbert_CP]

Is it male or female?

It froths at the mouth and wants to kill you.  In the face.  *I'm* not checking under the skirt/kilt...

[MrWiggles]

It sounds hawt. I would.

[Zangi]

Not enough [PERSONALITY:ANGER:100:100:100]

Thats why I'm still trying to check.

It would be nicer if they actually tranced more easily than common dwarves, but nevertheless, nice idea

Dwarves with high [PERSONALITY:ANGER] scores should probably go berserk more easily (in or out of combat). Toady has described martial trances as more of a desperate emotionless killing machine mode that Dwarves enter when they are outnumbered:

A trance also removes any unhappiness and the need for food/drink/sleep while it lasts, though this would hardly ever matter.  And my post didn't include the most important thing about trances and all combat skill rolls: effective skill = (skill+1)*5.  This is applied after the weapon modifiers to skill, so everything magnifies obscenely.  A trance also lets the dwarf see when they are blind, and not just for combat purposes.

In my homebrew orc fortress, where orcs have a very high anger(and all the other hostile sounding traits), and their ethics treat interpersonal bodily injury(and most other crimes) as ACCEPTABLE, I had a massive invasion kill about 15% of the population.  The rest of the population went CRAZY with tantrums, started busting the place up and literally murdering each other.  It was pretty amazing to watch, actually.  Because of the civ ethics, none of these things were crimes.

  SOO...MUCH...WIN!!!

here i dug up the traits from the creature raw:
      [PERSONALITY:ANGER:50:75:100]
      [PERSONALITY:IMMODERATION:50:75:100]
      [PERSONALITY:EXCITEMENT_SEEKING:50:75:100]

      [PERSONALITY:ALTRUISM:0:15:30]
      [PERSONALITY:MODESTY:0:15:30]
      [PERSONALITY:SYMPATHY:0:15:30]

and the civ ethics:
   [ETHIC:KILL_ENTITY_MEMBER:JUSTIFIED_IF_GOOD_REASON]
   [ETHIC:KILL_NEUTRAL:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:KILL_ENEMY:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:KILL_ANIMAL:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:KILL_PLANT:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:TORTURE_AS_EXAMPLE:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:TORTURE_FOR_INFORMATION:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:TORTURE_FOR_FUN:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:TORTURE_ANIMALS:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:TREASON:JUSTIFIED_IF_GOOD_REASON]
   [ETHIC:OATH_BREAKING:PUNISH_CAPITAL]

   [ETHIC:SLAVERY:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_OTHER:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_SAME_RACE:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_SAPIENT:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_ANIMAL:ACCEPTABLE]

Also worth noting:  You know how you can't butcher goblin corpses for bones, skulls etc?    My orcs had no problem butchering elves and humans.  I think the
[ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_OTHER:ACCEPTABLE]
[ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:ACCEPTABLE]
ethics now apply directly to butchery.

[Grimlocke]

   [ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_SAPIENT:ACCEPTABLE] is also required.

[derigo]

Are you certain?  I haven't tested to find out exactly which tags are required because it requires generating a new world with and playing until you have sentient corpses each time you change a tag.  Its a little too time-consuming for me.
