Is there a different method of disarming people than simply grabbing their weapon and moving away, hoping it stays in your grasp?

You can attempt to wrestle it off of them. When you grab onto their weapon, open the item interaction menu and select the weapon. You will be given the option to wrestle for control. This can be done with any clothing as well. The wrestled item should be coloured differently from all the other items in your inventory.

Or you can hit their weapon arm, and hope that they drop their weapon from pain/nerve damage.

Yeah, I used to do it that way, but I just eventually used wrestling, cos it's easier IMO.

How do you examine your histfig/entity links? Outside of temporarily retiring in a town.

I'm just wondering as quietust mentioned about it in a bug report, so I'm just asking what he was referring to.

I was messing around with goblins and kobolds as adventurers and having all races (aside from Kobolds. I tried giving them cities but they pretty much exploded in population) and I get attacked by my own civ as both.

For kobolds I guess it's because of utterances. However, when I played as a goblin, I went to another goblin civilization and somehow became an enemy of that civ as I didn't attack anything (well, I did kill someone in there while I tried to get out) and when I went to my civs capitol, I got attacked by soldiers even though I was still friendly with that civ. So, what the heck happened with me while playing as a goblin? According to legends, the ones I did kill during my suicide run in the capital and one of those that killed me became an enemy of my site group which I'm still a member of.

I was also unable to get any quests in the starting village for some reason.

Edit: I think I read somewhere that the babysnatcher tag causes problems when playing as adventurer?

There's an entity tag called [LOCAL_BANDITRY], it is likely what is making them all hostile to you.

[smjjames]

Oh, okay. I couldn't speak as a kobold adventurer anyway.

How come I couldn't get any tasks in my starting village? Same tag?

It could be. What exactly do you mean by not being able to get tasks? Do they say they have no need of you, or do they not speak at all?

If they say they have no need of you, then it's because there isn't anything dangerous nearby for you to kill, or that the only animals nearby have a [DIFFICULTY:11] or higher, which means they won't get assigned as targets. If they can't speak at all, it's probably because kobolds can't speak. If you give them a language, they will be able to give you tasks.

[smjjames]

They were just saying i have no need of you. I did stop worldgen at year 100, so that may have had something to do with it. It's also possible that the local banditry bit screwed with the quests as I was only friendly to the village I started in.

Drink blood.

If I were to retire my adventurer due to a missing limb, severed nerve, or just plain boredom and take on about two or five years of Fortress Building in a proximate (close) area, would that adventurer be perfectly healthy when I play him/her again? Would he/she be able to have children during this period? Can they die or worse not regain any lost limbs?

If you retire them in a mountainhome, they may show up as a migrant in your fort. They won't magically heal by being retired, though anything that can heal will heal. Severed nerves and missing limbs don't heal, unless you are a were-beast. They won't have children or go on other adventures while you are in Fort Mode, since history stops once you start to actually play. Though this will change in the next version. There is a risk of them dying, but only from old age.

[Rockphed]

In my experience, infection does not heal without magic in adventure mode by retiring and unretiring.

Vampirism doubles your strength, which doubles your muscle mass. IIRC, it also doubles your toughness, which makes a lot of your tissues and bones heavier. That's why you slow down.
