Do fingers affect combat?
« on: January 20, 2012, 11:15:36 am »
Hi, My millitia commander has lost 2 fingers on his right hand cut off and 3 fingers on his left cut off....He is a lefty and he seems to be losing in sparring often and gets hurt a lot more often in combat now then he used to.....

if he loses all 5 fingers can he still hold his weapon?

I believe all you need is a hand, also this belongs in the question forum.

The [GRASP] tag is attached to the hand, not the fingers, so a dwarf can hold items even with all their fingers cut off.  The fingers do contain nails, which have an associated 'scratch' attach, so if a dwarf looses all their fingers they can't scratch in combat.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

If fingers had the [GRASP] tag, I suppose a dwarf could grasp something with every finger?

Yes, which is a pretty funny thing to picture.  Holding ten weapons, each by just a finger...

Maybe the weapons would be implanted directly into the dwarf's fingers. Become just extensions of the body.

Because it would take nothing more than adding the [GRASP] tag to the beard, which you can do yourself easily?

I do need to try that out sometime.  Probably best to wait for the update though.  :)

Should you go down that path, don't forget to give the beard the [THOUGHT] token
