(38a) Inappropriate killing message for non-humanoids
« on: February 15, 2008, 04:10:00 pm »

Here is something I've just run into during my current adventuring session:

You hack at The giant cave spider in the cephalothorax with your Iron short sword!

It is split in half from the crown to the chin!

One of those minor little things to fix for the day you run out of real bugs (ha!), I guess.

It seems reasonable to me!  Cephalothorax -does- mean the equivalent of head.  Maybe they don't have -quite- the equivalent of a chin, but it seems good enough to me..

You'd still get the Armok-damned statue.

You could hit the bronze colossus so hard his atomic structure broke down, and copper and tin flew everywhere.  That was my theory for escaping the facility in assassin's creed actually, hit a steel pipe against the wall till it turned into iron, then spit on the iron till it rusted, mixed the rust with powdered aluminum from whatever you drink, then ignite it next to the door.  It'd melt the door, and you could leave.  It could totally work.
