My baron wants dwarf leather. I would love to kill him, but he also has a few useful skills. Any alternative solutions?

[NecroRebel]

Don't have a sheriff, Captain of the Guard, or any fortress guard members; this will totally prevent justice from being carried out, so the only penalty is unhappy thoughts to the baron, which can be compensated for in the usual fashions. Note that if at any time in the future you do acquire a justice-related dwarf, the sentences that have gone unadministered will be carried out, and will likely involve deaths of targeted dwarves.

Alternatively, if you've already got one of the justice-related dwarves, build a lavishly-appointed jail. Occasionally, a random leatherworks-related dwarf will be put in jail for failing to produce a dwarf leather item and will thus be out of commission for a month or two. Make sure you've got prison wardens to feed and water prisoners. Note that if you arrange for there to be booze accessible to the jailed dwarves they won't need to be watered and will just drink the booze.

Finally, you may find it beneficial to train other people who have the same useful skills to compensate for the loss if you've really, really got to kill that little freak.

Wow. What does his preferences screen look like?

[Mrhappyface]

Everthing else seems normal. likes gabbro, marble, dwarven wine, birch, etc.

[EmperorJon]

Wow. He's got problems.

Dwarven wine?

Is that a wine... FOR Dwarves or... FROM Dwarves?

[EmperorJon]

For.

[UnrealJake]

You take the fun out of everything...

[Musashi]

What.
So, this guy is why fell moods exist.

There is actually a consequence of ignoring mandates and the justice system nowadays. The offended noble sometimes takes matter in his own hands -literally- by assaulting the perceived offender. While this most likely doesn't harm the victim (the first couple of times), it might, if you get unlucky with the RNG.

Install a jail. If you have a jail, executions are less likely to be carried out. IIRC.
Or give your Hammerer a Candy Cane (Adamantine Warhammer).

Try giving the leatherworkers helms. That way, the lucky strike won't kill them.

He likes trees and wine?... Might wanna give him a magma bath just to make sure you don't have an elf running your fort.

[Quantum Toast]

Make the leather from him. Then everyone's happy.

[Sutremaine]

Nah, it's cool, dwarven wine is made from fermented mushrooms.
