Summary

0000978: Rotten body parts don't seem to impair dwarves

Description

I got attacked by a forgotten beast where (as far as I can tell) its blood causes swelling and necrosis.

So now I have a number of dwarves who got splattered by blood, but are otherwise uninjured. They are Rest-ing in the hospital most of the time, with advanced rot and swelling according to their description screen & the health screen.

However, the (w)ounds screen considers them uninjured - and indeed, they will often get up and do jobs despite 90% of their body being rotten, with no apparent ill effects other than trailing miasma all over the fortress..

Broken/mangled limbs/joints can still be used for walking, attacking, flying

(That was a nasty beast. It died fast, but then its blood got tracked around the whole fort..)

To reproduce, you need to fight a beast with rotting venom. Something seems to be broken with rotting tissue excision, as doctors will treat One wound, but ignore the others, letting them die. here is the save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3006 [^]
