I have a Legendary axe,shield,dodge,fight and armor user dwarf that single-handedly held off a goblin siege all by himself as the rest of the fort made it to safety. Unfortunately he took an arrow or 2 (there were 3 arrows on his hospital bed) through the upper arms and well as war hammer blows ect. He has motor and sensory nerve damage and has lost the ability to grasp in both arms.

So is there any use for a dwarf who can't hold anything?

[CinnibarMan]

Nerve damage... sounds like a goner.

He might still axe people with his mouth though.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Sentry. Build him a bed in your entrance.

[malroth]

Justice,  make him your captian of the guard.

[Don Blake]

Worship.  Encase him in glass walls in the center of your dining room, and feed him via trapdoor.

[Krath]

War, send him into battle still. He doesn't need to grab anything, he'll fight with his legs and the clothes on his back.

[Ubiq]

I'm with malroth; make him Captain of the Guard so that beatings are limited to severe pushings.

He will soon become a legendary kicker and biter. He will bite the fingers off of the criminals while curb stomping them.

Back OT, I usually reserve nice places for my fallen warriors. Had one dude who lost both arms and a leg. He had a gold plated room filled with masterwork depictions of him decapitating forgotten beasts. He eventually died of old age. But he was happy.

I too make some "Veteran's homes" for my warriors with nerve damage, giving them golden everything. It's nice to see little fellas happy.

[Newbunkle]

Bait for a trap?

[Girlinhat]

You can always put him civilian.  Have him make weapons that he can no longer use himself.

[deknegt]

T'is just a flesh wound.

I would just give him a honorary position in your fort. Just so that he can rest away the final years of his life yelling at those dwarven kids and their boogie-woogies.

Sissy talk! He still has legs, teeth and the booze-driven spirit of Dwarfliness; I say you keep sending him solo into sieges and ambushes, until his only recourse is to blink furiously at his enemies.

[Girlinhat]

I'd normally agree, but only if he's already wearing armor.  Dwarves must be able to grasp to be able to put on armor, otherwise they go naked.  If he's in armor, send in the Furious Dwarven Teeth and Stubbly Power Feet.
