Old age starts to take it's toll btw. Our mages start getting afflictions. Only 1 of the loremasters got the diseased affliction, the others have only stuff like crippled,lost an arm and the like, so nothing lethal

.

Eh! Units can loose an arm because of old age? That is a bit....odd.

,,and yes I know that is counts as an affliction but still..

It can seem a bit odd, but perhaps the mage slipped, broke his arm and the arm never healed or got infected and had to be amputated.

A bit of a stretch I admit.

Well, lose an arm does not necessarily mean that if fell off. It just means that his arm is unusable. Maybe his arm broke and can't heal (as nerfix said) but I bet its more common that there was some infection or problems with bloodstream in that arm that made it 'wither off' and unusable (look at me, I'm sounding like bad version of dr. House

). He may still have it 'attached' to his torso you know.

More like Dr. Zoidberg than Dr House

Either way, its much funnier to imagine the arm just randomly falling off

Consider it debilitating rheumatoid arthritis.

Or perhaps the fellow got insane in the brain and chewed his arm off

Happens a lot.

OK, already I can see the disturbing trend that his Dwarf Fortress habit creates. Please tell me that patch 3.02 will not include a Fell Mood affliction, or commanders becoming enraged and attacking another province at random instead of following your orders. New Legendary hall of fame abilities would be acceptable of course.

There is a genetic disorder called Crigler-Najjar where the child is mentally retarded, usually male, if memory serves, and they will chew their fingers off.

Don't know if they are good wizards, though.
