I had an Ogre beat over 10 Dwarves to death with an octorpre skin backpack. Anything can be deadly when used as weapon, provided the creature wielding it has ample time to repeatedly bash their victim with it.

Picture a dwarf, warrior, mechanic, or some other incredibly useful profession. Now picture him dead. That's what infections do.
[NOPAIN] no gain.

I once caved in a cheetahs skull with a sock. Anything can be killed with anything.

A thrown Fluffy Wambler decapitated a Bronze Colossus.

That thing must have been going near the speed of light to have that much energy.

With [SLOW_LEARNER], dwarves probably don't sit around and talk anymore. They just stand in the same corner altogether, staring at each other, sticking their bearded lips out trying to make sounds. And giggling when someone actually says a whole word.

I beat a pack of wolves and several elves to death with a reed rope glove.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers

I've had wrestler dwarves disarm goblins and beat them to death with them.

was that thrown?  and do creatures/dwarves throw things in fort mode?

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

I've had dwarves become dabbling throwers occasionally so it must be.

They become dabbling throwers after they chuck stuff around when tantruming.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Anyone dares to keep them on the verge of tantruming until at least one becomes legendary thrower?


EDIT: And to stay at least a bit on main topic, my legendary dodger, axedwarf, armoruser (and few other skills) in full steel just got oneshotted by cute qualityless training wooden spear embedded in qualityless weapon trap. It shattered the brain.
