Wrestling equipment off people.
« on: December 25, 2010, 03:41:35 pm »
So, I've heard all these stories about people pulling off weapons and stuff from enemies and using them to kill the enemy and I decided to try it myself. I was fighting a dude, got him disabled and tried to pull of his socks so I can beat him to death with them. I tried grabbing the sock with either the upper arm or the lower arm, but there is nothing I can do afterward. It doesn't show up in the nteract menu and the only option in the wrestling menu is "release grip".
So, how do I steal socks?

Shift+I

A very underused command for complex interactions. The only thing I think it's used for is gaining control of items. So shift+I and select what you've grappled(You must have grabbed it with your hands), you'll get the option of gaining control of it. This is also good for removing pesky armor from your enemies.

Live long if you can, and prosper by any means necessary.  Any means, Urist.  So pull that lever, or by Armok, I'll lock you outside come next siege.
He who plays with dwarves must take care that he does not become a dwarf.  And when you stare into DwarfFort, Dwarffort stares back into you.

I did try Shift+I. The item wasn't listed in the menu, probably because I didn't use my hands to grab it.Do you have to have your hands free to grab the item? I was holding a sword and shield at the time and the only options I got was upper arms, lower arms, grab with sword, grab with shield and maybe something else, but no hands as far as I can remember.

Dang. I think I prefer having both my stabbing device and not-getting-stabbed-yourself device. Oh well, they can't use their items if I cut their heads off, amirite?

Protip : Mod in a third hand

Also , Grabbing shit off people or Simply cutting their face off depends on the situation :

Masters , (Skill)lords , Anything that relies on a certain weapon to unleash hell , or when you are just starting out : Drop your weapon and Grab their crap off them , It'll render them helpless(After all , a Spearmaster without their spear is more of a Walking Stab target)

Random soldiers , peasants , elves , anything that covers Several Skills : SHIFT+A , Head , Any attack , Press Space and watch a brand new Head on the ground

I much more prefer slashing off a master's weapon hand, since my weapon skill is always higher than my wrestling skill and I only use swords.
