Problem with the HUMANOID_ARMLESS exception: crab men (edit:also harpies, but a case could be made that they shouldn't be considered humanoid). I think if we're going to do this categorization at all, it's going to have to be in Wittgensteinian fashion -- that is, a checklist where any creature satisfying more than a certain number of the conditions is considered humanoid (e.g., if we had ten conditions, any creature that met at least seven would qualify). --Zzedar (talk) 21:29, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
- Right, forgot about that. If that's the only exception, I may as well add it in as a special case. --Lethosor (talk) 21:50, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, the multiple-characteristic idea could work, if the [APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION] tag were accessible (it's replaced on DF2012:Crab man/raw). Not sure how to access this from a template, but I'll see if it's possible. --Lethosor (talk) 21:52, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
