Dwarves have the ability to kinetically lock objects they use to make constructions. Sadly, this only works on specific constructions, like walls and floors. In the future, dwarven technology may extend that ability further, permitting invincible wooden doors made by just-recruited carpenters! Said ability explains why dragons can breathe fire on dwarf-made ice walls and get nowhere, but breathing it on a frozen river makes steam fairly quickly.

Ash is magma-safe because he's dragonfire-proof. Then again, so are nearly everyone in the Pokemon anime...

When will dwarves become the magma?

As soon as you pull the lever.

Why was a human able to survive for a year and a season (early spring 199 to early summer 200) after having their neck ripped off by a giant dingo, migrate twice, become known for their worldliness, and suddenly remember they shouldn't be alive and suffocate not long after my adventurer talked to them?

The realisation of the lack of vocal chords as a result of an attempt to speak caused him to realise he should not be able to speak or breathe and hence die. It is the same principle why cartoon characters only fall off thin air when they look down.

How do we replicate such a principle for dwarves?

The maturity of dwarves is directly proportional to the amount of booze they have in their blood. By 1, the little dwarflet has leached enough ambient booze from its mother to be upgraded to a dwarflet, which has subpar cognitive function directed at attaining more booze for itself, which is why it has an increased propensity to party. By 12, the dwarflet has now enough booze in it to start concerning itself about the perpetuation of booze stocks.

Simply force every dwarf to carry a crutch, then they won't even realize when they lose a leg because they can still walk.

How much wood can a woodcutter chop if they go to chop wood in a a siege?

A:
The Woodcutter strikes the Goblin in the lower body with her (copper battle axe), spilling his rotten guts.
It is a gelding blow!

Why don't dwarves grab the most valuable stuff available when making artifacts?

Artificing, like art, is about inspiration, not quality. The closest materials are grabbed to maintain that spark of inspiration.

It's a restriction of the game engine. They're actually «codpieces».

Why do structures never collapse under their own weight?
