:Seconded. Lost my skilled fisherman to one. And it wasn't just a case of "Oops, the dwarf fell in and drowned." It ripped off his arm and left half a dozen dwarf chunks in its wake.

It's mathematically possible for a kitten to one-shot a dragon. With thousands of users each having dozens of games with hundreds of combats each with scores of attacks - weird things will happen, just expect them. Add the [ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH] and [SPECIALATTACK_SUCK_BLOOD:25:50] tags, and you have a recipe for potential disaster no matter what the odds. |
::That said, one of the biggest ''constants'' in combat and damage is size vs. size. So, ''typically'', a size 6 dwarf should be able to rule over most any size 3 creature, no problem. Also, "wrestling" must be matched by "wrestling" - and if the lamprey can't wrestle, it's game over. So it makes sense (in the game, if not by any RL standards) that a novice wrestler (and one in [[Adventure]] Mode!) might dominate while a legendary miner often loses, especially if the creature is low on internal organs for that [[piercing]] pick to target. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 23:38, 25 February 2010 (UTC) | ::That said, one of the biggest ''constants'' in combat and damage is size vs. size.
