| − | Bone and shell, like | + | Bone and shell, like any other material other than metal used to create [[armor]], has 50% of the standard protection of iron. While poor in protection value, it is still a good start for protecting your dwarves before you get a metalsmithing operation going. It is not very usefull in the first few years since you aren't likely to be attacked by anything too powerfull but is still a preferable option over leather armor since while bearing the same protection value, leather can be used for more usefull purposes such as [[bags]] or leather [[clothing]]. |

| + | Making bone and shell armor can be an effective way to meet certain nobles' mandates if metal armor production is difficult. | ||
===Bolts=== | ===Bolts=== | ||
| − | Bone and wood [[ | + | Bone and wood [[bolts]] for crossbows can be made at a Craftdwarf's workshop; bone bolts can be made for next to nothing and when the dwarf reaches the top experience levels, bone bolts approach damage levels like that of metal ones<sup>{{verify}}</sup>. Also, dwarves will not use metal bolts to practice, instead preferring bone and wooden bolts. |
===Crafts=== | ===Crafts=== | ||

It is a good idea to include a Craftsdwarf with both Bone Carving and Stone Crafting in your beginning party, so you can start producing ammunition and getting rid of those massive piles of rocks. A few bins of well-made trade goods are usually sufficient to buy any vital supplies from the first caravan to arrive at your fortress. |

===Weapons=== | ===Weapons=== | ||
| − | You can create [[stone]] [[ | + | You can create [[stone]] short [[sword]]s at the craftsdwarf's workshop out of any sharp stone. In the unmodified game, these short swords can only be made from [[obsidian]]. These have the same damage as steel, so they are extremely useful for early traps if you can find or produce obsidian. However, they require one unit of [[wood]] in their construction, making them mostly impractical on maps with no or little forestation. |
| − | + | The weapons are described as being clubs with a sharp stone edge affixed to the side. According to [[Toady One]], the weapons are supposed to wear very quickly but this functionality has not yet been implemented.{{version|0.27.169.33a}} | |
