So as it happens, one of my Dorfs had decided that the best way to deal with a goblin ambush was to rush out there wearing only a cap(in fact I think he stole it from one of the goblins...) and fight.

He won, with a single injury - he had his left foot's motor nerve cut.

Fearing the worst, that he would be unable to work as a fighter again, I put him into the training squad.


Lo and behold, merely two years later.

The health screen says he still has a severed motor nerve, while the Dorf himself, having finally gotten legendary crutch walking, tells me he's got nothing wrong with himself, so he ditched the crutch. Is this normal behaviour? Why is he still able to walk around?

[RCIX]

Maybe he's gotten so good at crutch walking he doesn't actually need the crutch anymore?

[Dsarker]

Maybe he just cut off the leg and replaced it with the crutch...

[nanomage]

You know, crutch-walker without a crutch is just like a crutch-walker with a crutch, just with no crutch.

[kotekzot]

His beard grew over the leg and is now handling the moving.

[Girlinhat]

Clearly, if he defeated an ambush wearing only a cap, that means he's developed to the point that he's Dwarven Chuck Norris and has simply discarded medical knowledge.

Fixed.

Exactly, he slow motion roundhouse kicked that diagnosis in the face.

He has since made a masterwork weapon on his first try. As a Dabbling.

OMG I would love to see peg-leg dwarves and eye-patches man I would try to make a damn boat on an ocean just for the pleasure of having a fort of pirate sea fairing dorfs!

[Evaristo Carriego]

Somebody needs to mod peg legs. Let's make this happen.

This Urist once received a mood, then defied it.

Item/material preference likely had a hand in that. Dabbling dwarves don't make masterworks, IIRC.

Your dwarf recovered like hes meant to.  I noticed the other day that the RAWs have changed.  Nerve damage never used to have a Healing_rate at all, they now have 8000.  This makes them the slowest healing tissue, but severed nerves will eventually heal now.  Only dwarves that actually lose the limb seem bound to crutches for life.

This change seems to have been last few versions.  Im pretty damn sure that in 31.18 I was still adding nerve healing manually.

And yeah, normally novice is the line for a mood.  dabbling smiths usually make something at the craftsdwarf shop.  I guess if he likes a metal it might override since metalsmiths can demand specific metals.
