You must go and killl tha...DID YOU JUST LOSE YOUR HAND!!??
« on: April 20, 2011, 12:44:19 am »
So, I think that my dwarves are made of pudding. I had a dwarf fight a FB who was a snail...Lost his entire left leg. Had one dude left from a siege...MY CAPTAIN OF THEGUARD lost his hand. Had a dude fight a torgodyle(that pokemon) and he lost his hand. Whet the hell!!?? WHY!? Ok, so I have gloves. Luckally I am so awesome that NOBODY in my fortress has ever died of infectious desieses...so...He is going to sit in my hospital for a while.

But really, how the hell did he lose a hand. He hadn't even started fighting yet.

There was a fight, and the goblin just chopped off his arm before he could do anything. Why are so many of my dwarves losing body parts?

1. Armor
2. Steel
3. Training
Do you have those 3 things? If so, then there's always the small possibility of a lucky hand-shot.

I've got my soldiers armed in full steel, legendary shield-user, high armor and weapon user skills.

Three of my knights then lost their hands or arms over the course of the last few sieges. I hope my anecdote helps to demonstrate the truth of SirAaronIII's point.

Welcome to Dwarf Fortress.
Your dwarves will lose all kinds of interesting anatomy.
Deal with it.

I had a tigerman get elected mayor and he promptly mandated 3 bowls of cereal.

That has happened to quite a few of my soldiers while fighting creatures in the underground. For some reason, the hands are almost always the parts bitten off. Apart from that one guy who got decapitated, of course.

Yeah, I should probably give them some armor.

The resulting party killed 20 dwarves, crippled 2 more and the remaining 9 managed to get along and have a nice party.

Dwarf Fortress is the only place where that actually works :D

One of my dorfs got his head bit off by a giant earthworm. Said earthworm then decided to crawl away, head still in it's mouth.

Ugh.

Yes, and missing your upper arm apparently has no effect on your lower arm or hand.  (So many goblins come through my weapon traps and exit as "her left upper arm is gone", or "his upper right leg is gone" yet they're still walking and fighting.)

Not true - they are probably crawling.

Two pairs of mittens + greaves will probably fix a lot of the hand problems.  The wiki has the real full set of armor you can give to your dwarves which is much more effective than the "Metal Armor" default.
