"What do you call a soaper in Dwarf Fortress? What is soap?" -anonymous

A soaper is a dwarf who creates soap from tallow and lye at the Alchemist's laboratory. This is one of the least useful roles in the fortress. At present soap has no better effect than a handmade stone and makes a poor trade good. While soap is the best way to get value out of megabeast fat (admit it, Hydra or Dragon soap is just cool!), any dwarf can be assigned the task and yield the same result since soap has no quality modifier; the only difference is faster producing. Therefore soapers are typically excellent candidates to be drafted into the military.
