First for futa elf necromancers.

It's out!

Do werebeasts not need to eat or drink? I had a werebeast attack and that only injury was he bit one of my dwarves feet off. I wasn't sure if that counted for being infected or not so I went on the safe side and walled him up. It's been a bit now, he hasn't turned and its surely been enough time for him to be hungry or thirsty, but he isn't.

The futa necromancer wasn't even an elf :

C'mon bro.

Yeah, the .16 was a dead giveaway.

Why are scimitars functionally identical to short swords?

For that matter, what's the deal with pikes? are they any good? (I realize that both pikes and halberds will be much better once toady represents their greater reach)

Pikes have greater penetration than spears.

They're functionally identical because their raws are pretty much the same, the only difference is that the pommel strike of the scimitar has a contact area 50 while the pommel strike of the short sword has a contact area of 100. As for why do they have identical raws, well, I have no idea.

Pikes, as said, have greater penetration, 20% more going by the wiki, but they require two arms to use for most humans and dwarves.
