Is it just me or did dwarves become killing machines at some point?

Same word-gen, same boogiemen, I ran through several elves and humans who were absolutely destroyed. This dwarf just took down the group of them two nights in a row without needing to run. He had no armor (unlike some of the guys I had), but still only took heavily bruising.

It was like the game went to easy-mode because of my race choice.

Martial trances.

At first, I had a lot of problems with them on my female elf. Once my wrestling got to Legendary though (and if you're reasonably fast, like 1700) you can seperate them out, them grab them by their head and gouge out their eyes. Repeat with each one, and make sure you don't move too far away or else they despawn and you get a fresh bogeyman.

Before I could do that, if there was lots of cover, I would stealth, pray I could move away far enough, and then go back and pick up rocks, soil, snow, whatever was on the ground, and throw them at the bogeymen.

Martial trances.

Indeed.

Indeed.

So the reason Dwarves are better against bogeymen is because they go batshit crazy when surrounded.

I love it.

Eh. Human swordsman, good fighter, good dodge. I took apart 5 of the things like they were nothing. Dead of the night, I get jumped. 5 dead bogeymen, the cackling faded, and I laid down to get a good night's sleep.

So I dunno. They don't seem especially tough. It's more the fact they jump you in numbers alone. You need to be a "decent" fighter to take them on.

Remember the bogeymen are generated randomly. Yours may be easier than mine or harder depending on what the game came up with.

I hate them. They have killed every adventurer I have made. And is it just me who cannot find a single other creature?
I only get bogeymen and elves, dwarves and humans. No animals. Ever. Any ideas?

Maybe stop sleeping at night alone in the wild?

Ok...
Handy advice there, but i have searched all of the land (in te DAYTIME, I might add) for any other animals, and have found nought.

Maybe your world is a bit lifeless? I find that I trip over goddamn wolves every few tiles sometimes.

I had the impression these guys would spawn forever, didn't even think they could be killed off. Only 5-7 of them, sometimes they're tougher than others. Any good slash across the head or lower body will cut right through them. If you don't have that, it's also not difficult to slip past them, if it's not too far a run.
