Actually....I meant how you'll actually throw them -out- of their own pants, provided they move at least one tile

I most often use axes, typically taking out their thighs or arms to get them in either severe pain or on the ground, then I go for the head.


However, I do use kicking and punching if I have a good shot.

Thank you everyone for the help! I've since flooded the fortress I was working on and now have a new one going up.

Kicking with an Axe is sensible. It allows You to remain facing one person, and Striking another. Great for Multiple Opponents.

Yeah, anytime you're holding something from another person's inventory, if they can no longer hold onto it you gain possession automatically. So, holding a guy's boot while you cut off his foot or gripping someone's quiver while you toss them across the room. Interesting side note, killing them works just like this for anything, so holding a guy's pants while you cave in his skull equals free slacks.

The sword cuts both ways, get a weapon lodged in someone and then choose to drop it, you leave them with a nice peircing.

That leads to some odd situations, like when I ended up with a halberd stuck in my hand and a spear stuck in my wing after fighting some particularly lucky bandits (lucky in that they managed to hit me at all).

I once survived a bandit ambush and wandered into a hostile town. I was cornered by a small child when I noticed that an arrow was still lodged in my stomach, I ripped it out and stabbed the kid to death with it.

I didn't know it worked for non-severing/killing interactions. Haven't really gotten the hang of throwing folks, yet.

The sword cuts both ways, get a weapon lodged in someone and then choose to drop it, you leave them with a nice peircing.

Oh, I definitely knew about that one. I once stabbed a hydra with seven spears, each one embedded in a different head. Then a few more in various other places. Then it bit my arms off.
...I hate Hydras. I hate anything I can't choke to death.

Was the rhesus standing or on the ground? You can only throw when they're standing, although unless you're a BC or similarly powerful beast they won't go very far - possibly not even one tile. As a BC, however... :3

I threw a guy as a bronze colossus.. i than realized i wanted his sword..... DAMNIT

I like Starting off unarmed Ripping the weapons from peoples hands using them until no longer convenient and then throwing them at the nearest enemy.
Yeah, thats a good Approach as well. Disarming can be very effective, when Your Enemy is Reliant on their Weapon ;)

hang on i totally just realized why i see seemingly random caps on bay 12.

...I hate Hydras. I hate anything I can't choke to death.

When considering that one day i decided to fix it. modded in a 7 armed character.... took forever but i eventually did. trick is you gotta get all the heads in a chokehold than mash the direction button.

I usually sneak up on people, and then get WRASSLIN! Break their legs, then  kick them to death. I'll usually use weapons when fighting groups or those beast guys, though.
