Fixed. Remember, Dwarven Justice is very unjust.

An interesting turn of events.... BUT YOU'LL NEVER GET ME INSIDE MY MAGMA CITADEL.

We will if we pour water on it first! Then we'll dig through it and give you a hammering for resisting arrest!

But once I unleash my legion of cats, your FPS will drop to NEGATIVE ONE, and the entire Dwarf-Space-Time continuum will implode!

Muahahaha!

But we've already replaced the cat blood with magma, they'll explode the moment you release them, killing you horribly!

Oh, well, time to get out the boiling leather of frosty doom, I suppose. That should cool it off a bit.

Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

BECAUSE MINERS ROCK.

I'm so sorry for this. It was too bad not to do.

Took me awhile to get it.

Wood Cutters should get loudness skill because they BARK!

Comedian's should get axe skill

Because they're probably expendable peasants.

Comedians should get Dodger skill. You know, tomatoes and whatnot.

That statement, Creamcorn, also leads to an interesting twist on the old saying "Everyone's a comedian."

If everyone is a comedian, and comedians are useless peasants, then everyone is a useless peasant. To hauling jobs with you all!

Everyone dies horribly via goblinite to the face? Welp, time to round up the troops and send them all into my dojo for combat instruction, all for a very reasonable fee. Wait, do we have economy on, or am I going to be accepting +Pig Tail Socks+ as payment?

.... How do you derail a thread that wasn't on rails to begin with? I take my hat off to you, community.

I'm currently making a nice room for my legendary clerk. I always treat my legendaries with the greatest respect, giving them the best rooms and so on. Although the walls are mostly engraved with pictures of my miner starving to death after he fell down a well, so it's not too cheerful.

This is standard. You may leave your hat on, unless you're looking at the Dwarven Space Elevator/Spire of Armok. Then, you better take your hat off, and wipe the tear from your eye.

The problem with Miners getting the Axe skill is while YES an Axe and a Pick would be used in very similar ways in a fight to the extent that I would use Axe for both...

Mining however is as far away from genuin Axe skill as being a Lumberjack makes you an Axeman.

While it could in theory be used to do stronger attacks or possibly provide a familiarity bonus, I wouldn't think it would be accurate seeing as they trained their entire life on stationary objects that don't fight back or move out of the way or even defend themselves in any worthwhile manner.
