"You you" typo fixed.
Please post a link to some article with more realistic bodypart weights if you think they are incorrect. Currently an arm gets 1/10 of body mass and a leg 2/15. They are guesses, I admit.
Wolfs no longer drink acid. And certainly no one will ever eat school food again, that's what I call outright suicidal behaviour for any organic entity, remembering how it tastes
We are planning to add a way to cut limbs off by applying a bladed weapon. In the current version removing arms is difficult indeed. If your DEX is low, you can try setting a bear trap repeatedly. You can also turn the annoying bodypart into a golem with the appropriate scroll.
What do you mean by a potion of leprosy?
We're still considering what we can do to the other problems. |

| Why can't we change body parts other than limbs? Is it planned for some point? I'd much rather use that scroll of change material to have a mithril torso or head than an arm or leg. |

I think it has to do with the fact that if your lungs were made of iron, it would be a little difficult to breath. And with eyes made of steel it's tough to see. And I can't even imagine trying to take a leak with a bronze groin. _________________ "Also, I'm the only person I know capable of a pelvic pary and riposte." -- Squashmonster

By that token, I would assume my muscles won't be able to contract, so my mithril limbs would basically be dead weights.

I actually had my head changed once. This happened when I was carrying a wand of polymorph. I got hit by an explosion and both my head and wand got blown up. I was promptly changed into a zombie without a head. I then prayed to Seges and got a marble head. The head stayed on even after changing back to human form. Woohoo!

Good point, I suppose. Although magically animated steel arms wouldn't need muscles.

Nice! Lucky, you got Seges to give you something out of marble. All she ever did for me was give me a fabric arm. Nice and dextrous, but I couldn't hold a weapon... _________________ "Also, I'm the only person I know capable of a pelvic pary and riposte." -- Squashmonster

Thanks for replying! Limb weights... I have no idea either. If I'll find something, I'll post it. Maybe it would be better to include arms in your carried weight no matter if they are a part of your body or your inventory.
Potion of leprosy... Just a potion that gives leprosy if drank. (Too powerful when used against enemies? I don't know...)
Applying weapons to cut off limbs? Cool! I hope it will be also possible to cut limbs of corpses?
(I'm not sure, but I think a corpse that has limbs made of other materials can be eaten as a whole)
I see one of my requests is unclear: "- I'd like a key which would give me a list of items and body parts, so that I can see what will happen if I create a golem from that wand " - I meant, a key that would show what material they are made off. Note body parts, currently I have to remember what they are currently made of.
One new thing: Petrus says that they have witnessed you leaving the tunnel even if you got here by means of levitation. (Not that hard to do, you just have to eat a mushroom... and hope you'll land on the right continent) |

I noticed something relating to levetation: "You *decent* gently to the ground."
There were also a few logic errors where singular was applied to plural objects, but I can't remember the specifics. If i spot it again I'll write it down. _________________ "Also, I'm the only person I know capable of a pelvic pary and riposte." -- Squashmonster

Right so I spelled it wrong. It should be "You decend gently onto the ground" in any case. _________________ "Also, I'm the only person I know capable of a pelvic pary and riposte." -- Squashmonster

A little bug: if you try to open a (closed) chest that stands on the place of open door, the game calls you idiot for no reason ;) _________________ Radio KoL - A Listener Is Me! |

I suggested the full body part enhancement not too long ago. Huhuh,
I'd love to see it working.
About how to cut arms...try applying bear traps until your arm gets
caught on it. I managed to take out both a few times without too much
effort. |
