I don't mean to be annoying, but can can someone answer this?

If I replace [SWIMS_LEARNED] with [SWIMS_INNATE] in the human's raws, (so my companions can swim)
how will that affect allocating points to swimming in the chargen screen? Does it just ignore not a swimmer by allowing you to swim, but still giving the advantages of faster swim speed and ability to be stunned in the water in later skill levels?

I think you're more likely to get an answer in the modding subforum.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'd recommend trying this thread.

What carries a higher risk of decapitation? Grabbing the head and pinching the head; or grabbing the head and pinching the throat? Or is it jsut the same as if I was hitting it with a sword?

[pisskop]

just strangle them. . .  but pinching the throat can be fatal.

Do fortress traps now affect adventurers by default?

[Trif]

Yes, except for cage traps.

[notquitethere]

Does avoiding them work off of your dodge?

[Trif]

It's just an attack like any other, you have a chance to block or dodge it based on the respective skills.

Another good skill to have is observer. Observant adventurers can spot traps, very useful if you don't want to trigger them.

You can turn off traps in Adventure Mode through the d_init.txt file.

[SWIMS_INNATE] lets a creature swim without having learned the swimming skill. That's all it does, nothing more or less.

If you want creatures to be able to naturally swim WELL (i.e. no drowning from stunning) add [NATURAL_SKILL:SWIMMING:3] to their raws.

So I was messing around in Adventure Mode when my dwarf went and got himself stabbed in the ear. 

Naturally, I chopped off the goblins arm and beat him to death with it.

Later, I noticed that my ear had become infected.  Not wanting to lose my adventurer, I resolved to do the dwarfy thing and amputate it.

I use the Lazy Newb pack and it comes with dfhack, which includes a function called "adv-bodyswap."  If it does what I think it does, then I would switch bodies with my companion, have him strangle me until I pass out, then calmly hack my ear off with a blunt axe.  Upon completion of this medieval surgical procedure, I'd switch back to my adventurer and continue his reign of terror as Urist McOneear.

Thing is, I can't figure out how to use "adv-bodyswap" properly.  What's more is that I can't find any real instructions anywhere else.  Can anyone tell me how to switch bodies in Adventure Mode?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out.  You go to (l)ook, then view the unit details of a unit you want to swap with, then use adv-bodyswap.

[tyrannus007]

adv-bodyswap sounds pretty cool. Can you switch to someone, then keep playing as them after the original adventurer died?

Let us know if this hack job works!

Ah, dwarven healthcare at its finest.
There's no urgent need to amputate infected tissue in adventure mode. You can survive that for several months without trouble. I guess it might be a problem if you set recuperation and disease resitance to 'low' or 'very low'.

Confusingly, infection doesn't set in all that reliably. I had a character with average health stats who had torn cartilage in an ear and a broken nail which were both constantly marked red in the health screen, but infection never set in, in about three months world-time. Maybe bathing in clean water staves off infection?
