Add Stance-Parts to the list of animateable parts

Because "animating halves of people" isn't as cool when you can only animate ONE half of a body.

The devlog or whatever the list of post...thingies here notes that body parts "currently" need a head or grasp to reanimate.

I thought legs and feet were grapple parts?

Grasp parts are ones that you can use to hold items with.

Stance parts are ones you can use to kick people, and stand up with.  :-\

So you want reanimated severed legs hopping after you and kicking you? I don't see why not.

see, it's those simple suggestions that tend to be the best. There's nothing to explain except that legs should be added to the animation list. I like it. I would enjoy having one of my companions chopped in half, and then reanimate both halves of him.

Dwarves passing by get good thoughts from the mist of water and exploding felines.
Anyone of the equivalent to the royal bloodline in a nomadic group would have a sun tattooed on their hand, or a scrotum on their forehead (it's a little-known fact that fraternities are based off of long-forgotten tribes).
