Will Dwarves have resistance to fog/rain? As in one dwarf who is susceptible to disease would die quickly from Fog/rain while one who rarely gets sick would die slowly.

You mean like a resistance to inhaled/ingested/touched contaminants overall? Because that's what the murdermist and zombierain are, really. I think it'd be a good idea though, maybe even a separate resistance for each way a syndrome can be contracted. Hell, they might be trainable. Don't smokers generally have an easier time dealing with foul air and stuff, at the cost of also being bad at absorbing oxygen?

Attributes aren't trainable. And that's a terrible point to make. The more you smoke, the more likely you are to die. :\

Eh, not really. I'm not speaking from experience, as I never smoked, but as far as I know, no. On the contrary, they are much more vulnerable than normal people, and can get badly affected by something that would not affect normal people that way. For example, some of the smokers develop asthma. If there's anyone out here who can disprove me, please do so, but I am pretty confident in what I'm saying.

Also, I've wrote a page on how I see the rain in my imagination. I don't have dandruff snow there, but I don't think it's a bad take on it.

New devlog! Apparently material based mandates are on hold for some reason.

Urist McMayor demands a ratman dandruff statue.

[CharlesPeter]

probably because of the randomized materials he was thinking of implementing.

attributes are trainable, At least in Adventure mode, which is where I was thinking of using it.

Well it sounds like the rain and fog are supposed to have more curse-like effects so, I guess maybe it might depend on how religious/superstitious the dwarf is. Maybe their god could protect them from the cursed precipitation if they believe strongly enough.

I say that each mist/fog type should check a different stat/attribute, ideally selected at world-gen.

[Areyar]

I'd think it rather better if zombie mist/rain only/mainly affects corpses, by raising them when exposed to it.
Bring those butchers and rubish-piles inside!

In all movies and virtually all books with zombies, you get 'it' when bitten by them. Assuming DF uses a syndrome to convey this contagion, does this happen in DF as well? Or is it more personal, like a curse?

[Caldfir]

My current understanding is that DF zombies are corpses raised by necromancers, with the "zombie plague" not being in the game at all (as far as we know from the devlogs). 

One could, however, probably mod in something similar to the "zombie plague" using the interaction framework.

[magmaholic]

does bloodstorm cause unhappy thoughts?
like "urist mcSadguy has been unhappy lately. he has been caught by a bloodfall lately"

[Untelligent]

Aye, all current zombies in the game are magic zombies, not virus zombies.

[thvaz]

Although the virus zombies should be easily modded. Besides zombies raised by necromancers, evil regions can raise everything that dies inside it and mummies can raise its servants.
