This is an enscribed adamantine dwarf-leg hammer.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes OF SHEER AWESOMENESS.

He's not wearing a cape, he'll step out the door, and BAM, arrow to the throat.

As for a better answer, just put him in the arena? As in, the object testing one?

He can kill like 20 or more if he runs in front alone and enters a martial trance. Unless arrow to the throat or head yes. Btw cloaks >> capes.

I meant cloak.

Anyways... When I put the steel clad dorf into the arena against a bunch of goblins, he killed... Zero.

Psh, the pansy couldn't handle getting jumped by 17 naked gobbos.

if they were naked they probably wrestled him to submission.  If they had weapons they would have beat them pointlessly against his armor.

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

I use leather robes.  Does that work as well as cloaks/capes?  I think they might have higher coverage.

Yeah robes cover down to the feet, cloaks only to the upper legs, both cover all the way up. You can even use both since robes are over layer and cloaks cover they shouldn't even interfere. Some civilizations don't have robes tho, and if you're unlucky you won't be able to make dresses either (the only other cover all clothing). I decked my last adventurer out in multiple coverings of blue metal clothing which turned otherwise deadly/incapacitating bolt hits into mere bruises. The only things that could hurt her were blunt attacks and wrestling moves (facestabs too prolly).

Is cotton candy clothing just as effective as armor...or is there a noticeable difference?

As all clothing it lacks certain tags in the raws. Basically it's not rigid so it shouldn't do anything against blunt attacks. One robe will make the wearer pretty much invincible to edge type attacks. Some edge type attacks (most common being bolts and arrows) are however converted into blunt attacks when not piercing the armor (possibly losing force in the process). Also keep in mind that they suffer from wear like normal clothes, and in an unmodded game take 5 pieces of cloth (=5 strands) to make.

That's why I modded in a cloth-only metal - so I didn't have to waste adamantine on clothes to get extra protection.

They're also bulkier, so they might get in the way once you start adding 'proper' armour.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
