Fun fact, I created a veritable rancor pit in my fortress by placing a Titan cage in a large chamber, then sealing off the entrance, and using pressure plates + retracting bridges to drop hapless goblins into the pit. Strangely enough, whenever I have a goblin thief dumped inside, the Titan ignores them, while blissfully painting the walls red with Goblin Wrestler blood. So if you expect to use a Megabeast or other fun creature(s) to execute thieves, don't bother. --[[User:Eddie|Eddie]] 01:27, 7 January 2009 (EST) | Fun fact, I created a veritable rancor pit in my fortress by placing a Titan cage in a large chamber, then sealing off the entrance, and using pressure plates + retracting bridges to drop hapless goblins into the pit.

This phrase seems to imply that it's only a rare breed of thieves that bypass traps, but I've got an entire tunnel of 30+ layers of cage traps, and I've watched kobold thieves run in and out with impunity (though they've never made it through the war dog pit for obvious reasons). Would stonefall / weapon traps work better, or are they just completely immune? — [[User:Wisq|Wisq]] ([[User talk:Wisq|talk]]) 03:59, 31 May 2009 (UTC) | This phrase seems to imply that it's only a rare breed of thieves that bypass traps, but I've got an entire tunnel of 30+ layers of cage traps, and I've watched kobold thieves run in and out with impunity (though they've never made it through the war dog pit for obvious reasons).

:If I remember correctly, Kobold thieves will always walk right through traps regardless of type. I'm not sure if goblins will or not. Theres something in the raws like trap immune or something along those lines, so those creatures will only trigger traps by falling unconscious on them, if then. --[[User:Silver|Silver]] 06:17, 31 May 2009 (UTC) | :If I remember correctly, Kobold thieves will always walk right through traps regardless of type.

:Add your sig? ;D Quick bullet points of thieves here: [[Defense guide#Threats]] The phrase ''"Some thieves can bypass traps as well"'' is annoyingly vague - any expansion/clarification on that? Threat assessment in combat, re those knives? (I believe a wardog or untrained wrestler can usually take them, but also often with some lower level of injury.) Confirm/refute the ability to bypass doors linked to levers? (this may take testing.) Comment on thieves sneaking in w/ caravans when "door is open". I'd say keep side comment on "animal thieves" as is - about right imo. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 18:11, 4 June 2009 (UTC) | :Add your sig? ;D Quick bullet points of thieves here: [[Defense guide#Threats]] The phrase ''"Some thieves can bypass traps as well"'' is annoyingly vague - any expansion/clarification on that?
