Summary	0009496: Tiny undead creatures immune to pulping, ridiculously difficult to kill

Revision	2016-12-08 20:19 by Loci
Description	My starting 7 have spent 50,000 lines of gamelog.txt locked in combat with an undead kestrel (tiny falcon). Many punch attacks "glance away" from the target, others cause bruises, but pulping seems to be impossible (comparatively, my dwarves pulped two undead ducks in ~ 10 attacks). Axe attacks are only slightly less useless, almost always tearing skin or muscles but very rarely severing anything. Realistically, tiny creatures should be easier to pulp, and axe attacks which hit the target should almost invariably lop something off. Testing in the arena, an unarmed dwarf easily destroyed the first 3 undead kestrels with punches severing limbs and collapsing body parts, but got stuck on the fourth, with his punch attacks glancing away or shattering bones, but not severing limbs or pulping.
