What if drinking booze gave dwarves superpowers?
« on: December 26, 2011, 10:33:34 pm »

I've been kickin' around some ideas for modding, and I came to an interesting scenario:

Drinking booze, any booze, instantly granted the imbiber a single super power.

What brew would you have your dwarves drink, and what would it do?

Dwarven Ale/Wine/Etc.
Standard set of powers. Faster, stronger, maybe some flight.

Sewer Brew
Dwarf becomes extra sneaky.

Sunshine
Dwarf becomes temporarily invincible.

Strawberry Wine
Dwarf becomes Elf and is immediately slaughtered.

Mine would be made of the blood of the elves, and it would make the imbiber ravenous, and uncaring for ethics.
They would then go to the graveyard and eat the bodies.

I thought alcohol already gave dwarves powers.  I've seen a single dwarf haul weights several orders of magnitude heavier than he was.  Meanwhile another one smelted raw ore with nothing more than a block and her bare hands.  And below them both, a third dwarf fell into some magma and drowned rather than burned.

I wish I could drown in magma

Staving off sobriety is enough of a superpower.

I saw the three next to the image of a lobster and wondered where the third lobster was.

I doubt a single can of beer would be enough to turn it into a good idea either.

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
Sincerely,
The Administration

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.
