Mauls are more than three times larger than standard war hammers, with a similar &quot;bash&quot; attack. Mauls also have a 10x larger contact area and greatly reduced penetration, which unfortunately reduces their effectiveness. <br /> <br /> Mauls use and train the [[hammerdwarf]] skill. Being foreign weapons, dwarves cannot [[forge]] mauls, limiting supply to whatever low-[[quality]] specimens can be traded from human [[caravan]]s and scavenged from invaders. Although, it is possible that a dwarf in a [[strange mood]] craft a maul as a [[legendary artifact]].<br /> <br /> Due to the size of mauls, most dwarves are unable to equip them. With height and broadness modifiers, some dwarves ''should'' be able to use a maul, and a select few might manage to do so one-handed.

<p>DrSazar: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Quality|Masterwork|01:30, 31 March 2012 (UTC)}}{{av}}<br /> <br /> '''Insanity''' describes any of the conditions that cause a [[dwarf]] or other [[creature]] to immediately stop what they were doing and go mad. Dwarves that are insane are unable to sleep, eat, drink, follow [[orders]] or perform any [[job]]. Insanity is permanent, and comes in three flavors: &quot;Melancholy,&quot; &quot;Stark Raving Mad,&quot; and &quot;Berserk.&quot; Each of these will inevitably end with the death of the afflicted dwarf. [[Tantrum]]ing may be a sign that the certain dwarf may go insane unless something makes the dwarf happy.<br /> <br /> Traveling merchants and their pack animals can also go insane. If this happens, the accompanying guard/s will kill the merchant and/or his animals. If this rare case does happen, the merchant's goods will be free for you to take.<br /> <br /> :{{gametext|Cilob Nisgakdeler, Merchant has gone berserk!|4:1}}<br /> :{{gametext|Horse is stricken by melancholy!|1:1}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Children]] (even babies) may become insane. This, in a smaller fortress without a military, will usually lead to much [[Fun]].<br /> <br /> ==Causes==<br /> The following events/conditions can drive a creature insane:<br /> * The [[strange mood]] job is cancelled for some reason (e.g. the claimed workshop is destroyed)<br /> * A [[Diplomat]] is trapped inside your fortress for a long time after having completed its meeting.<br /> * A [[Merchant]] is trapped within your fortress or otherwise disrupted (e.g. by being attacked by invaders).<br /> &lt;!-- Unknown condition triggered from &quot;Beat Criminal&quot; job? --&gt;<br /> * A dwarf is forced to stay awake for over 6 months (&quot;Very Drowsy&quot; for a month and a half).<br /> * A dwarf is [[thought|miserable]] for too long and throws one too many [[tantrum]]s. Dwarves who have completed a [[strange mood]] and created an [[artifact]] '''cannot''' go insane this way.<br /> * A dwarf enters a [[strange mood]] but is waiting inside the claimed workshop for the next item (or hasn't yet claimed a workshop) for a month and a half.<br /> * A [[Diplomat]] or [[merchant]] is trapped inside a [[cage]].<br /> <br /> ==Types==<br /> <br /> There are three known types of insanity, but a dwarf may only be afflicted by one at a time (one is enough). The [[personality trait|personality]] of the dwarf influences the type of insanity.<br /> <br /> :* '''Stark raving mad'''<br /> :{{gametext|&lt;dwarf&gt; has gone stark raving mad!|3:1}}<br /> ::''Running around babbling!''<br /> ::''Crawling around babbling!''<br /> :The afflicted will strip naked and drop each of their items one by one. They will then wander your halls aimlessly (or sometimes stick to their [[room]]), babbling incoherently until they eventually die of dehydration or starvation. They do not actively seek out their own deaths, but death does a pretty good job at finding them anyway, as they ignore any and all hazards they encounter while milling about.<br /> :Dwarves with high '''anxiety''' are more likely to go stark raving mad.<br /> <br /> :* '''Melancholy'''<br /> :{{gametext|&lt;dwarf&gt; is stricken by melancholy!|1:1}}<br /> ::''Stricken by melancholy...''<br /> :The afflicted is overcome by depression and will seek out ways to end their life, considerably slowing their movement in the process. If they cannot find a [[cliff]] to jump off of or [[water]]/[[magma]] to [[Swimmer#Drowning|drown]]/[[Fire|burn up]] in, they will simply starve themselves to death. Be warned that a melancholy mother may take her baby's life with her own if she still carries it.<br /> :Dwarves with high '''depression''' are more likely to be stricken by melancholy.<br /> <br /> :* '''Berserk'''<br /> :{{gametext|&lt;dwarf&gt; has gone berserk!|4:1}}<br /> ::''In a berserk rage!''<br /> :The afflicted attacks friend and foe alike in a blind rage. This can be dangerous if it happens to an experienced dwarf (especially one carrying an [[artifact]] weapon). Luckily, [[Dog|war dogs]] can quickly bring down an unskilled dwarf.<br /> :Berserk dwarves have also been reported to pull every lever they can find. This may be a mere annoyance or [[Fun|very fun]], depending on your fortress' design.<br /> :The dwarf in question becomes an enemy to your [[civilization]], meaning it will set off traps and engage your [[military]].<br /> :Dwarves with high '''anger''' are more likely to go berserk.<br /> <br /> ==Treatments for Insanity==<br /> <br /> {{D for Dwarf}}<br /> <br /> As stated, there is no cure for a dwarf who has fallen into one of the aforementioned forms of madness. Preventative measures may be considered, since a dwarf may show certain signs of psychological illness before it has fully taken hold. Luckily, recent advancements in [[health care]] have led to an exciting new field of medicine specifically meant to improve the overall mental welfare of the sanity impaired. As with all experimental treatments, efficacy and safety are not guaranteed, but early applications of the listed techniques have yielded promising results.<br /> <br /> *The Amontillado Treatment<br /> *:Initial research indicates that psychotic dwarves may benefit from extended periods of isolation, during which they may turn inward and away from their ecstasy. Therefore, if the patient has entered their room, locking them inside might be the best thing to do. If the patient is catatonic, or [[strange mood|remaining stationary for a long period]], then erecting a wall around them is recommended. Remember to open the door or bring the wall down before the patient succumbs to thirst or starvation. Alternatively, food and drink (and other items) may be dropped into the room through a [[Dump|delivery system]] of some sort, but remember that isolation must remain total if full effectiveness is to be achieved.<br /> *The Colosseum Procedure<br /> *:Be wary of dwarves who have recently commandeered workshops. It is a serious sign if the patient is screaming for products that cannot be provided (especially if stockpile records are up-to-date and publicly available). In cases such as these, the best treatment is to [[Trap#Cage_Trap|ensure they cannot escape the workshop]] in the event they turn violent. That way, they may be safely relocated to a segregated area where they can work off their aggression harmlessly on the fortress walls. Be certain to keep them away from [[Dragon|animals]], [[Elf|prisoners]], and [[Noble|other patients]]! Once the patient has calmed down, they can be brought out and returned to their lives.<br /> *Animal Therapy<br /> *:Breakout cases such as above can sometimes be prevented by giving the patient some new pets to take care of. For reasons uncertain, [[Dog|war dogs]] appear to have the greatest effect (although this may be a matter of availability; researchers have achieved results with [[black bear|bears]], [[tiger]]s, and even [[cow]]s). If the patient should break at some point, the presence of these animals may be enough to [[fun|tranquilize]] the patient.<br /> *Group Sessions<br /> *:It's somewhat common for soldiers to show signs of imminent madness, due to the hardships of life as a warrior. A widely endorsed suggestion is to surround the patient with their comrades-in-arms, who might provide cheer and a reminder of both duty and the support of friends. And, should the patient turn violent, they will most likely be subdued with minimal injury (to civilians).<br /> *Aquatic Cognizance<br /> *:Every one knows that water helps with aches in joints, what most people don't realize is that in terms of dwarven anatomy, the brain is a joint, thus having a dwarf swim until they recover may help, even more so if their brain is exposed so that the soothing water can affect the joint better.<br /> *The Winchester Method<br /> *:In many cases, madness has its roots in a deep feeling of powerlessness experienced by the patient during his schizophrenic delirium, with cases of patients hearing voices of Carps, Elephants and strange stories about [[Main:Boatmurdered|boats being murdered]]. Recent studies show that by safely giving the unfortunate patient the occasion [[Lever|to act on his own initiative]] and make him [[Magma|feel]] the consequences of his actions, dementia can be avoided.<br /> *Stasis<br /> *:Sometimes, the patients simply need time to think about their life. A good way of giving them all a long while to think (experts agree) that putting patients into [[Ice|cryo-stasis]] or encasing them in [[Obsidian|carbonite]] is the best way to combat rage, social rejection and [[Noble|other mental issues]].<br /> *The Bilbo Method<br /> *:Studies have shown that some dragons, in their infinite, ageless wisdom, have found solutions to common insanity and are even willing to impart said cures to dwarves stricken with any sort of madness. This method is often most useful when a dwarf who is having trouble making friends seeks to console himself with a resident dragon within the dwarf's own fortress.<br /> <br /> Any new developments or experimental procedures should be reported to the Mountainhomes immediately for verification and cataloging.
