Getting rid of fat.
« on: October 05, 2010, 01:16:58 am »
I've read mentions of purposely getting rid of your character's fat. So I'm just wondering, what's the use of it, and what would be the safest way to do it?

if you get rid of it successfully and completely, you are apparently fire resistant.

That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.

Sounds useful, but how could it be done safely?

It can't, you have to burn it away without dying.

Swimming in water or covering yourself with snow ain't gonna help ya' to resist the "process".

Play with fire & you get burned...but seeing as this is DF, if you survive the playing phase, they say you're basically fire-proof (But it is said that you lose the "protection" of body fat).
