Hey. You recently deleted this passage from the Wound article during an edit.

While eyes are not part of the nervous system per se, a dwarf with at least one missing 
eye will not spar in melee, just as if they had suffered nervous system damage. However, 
dwarves with at least one eye will still practice archery.

It looks good to me - since you left no notes re your edit (ahem), I was wondering "why?", and thought I'd ask before simply replacing it. All good either way, just wondering. --Albedo 01:52, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

It looked like overly specific info, and misunderstanding of the significance of nervous system injuries in particular. Any injury whatsoever will stop a dwarf from sparring until/unless it heals. Nervous injuries are only significant because they prevent sparring permanently, instead of for a couple seconds or minutes. Lopped off limbs and gouged out eyes also prevent sparring simply because they're permanent. So it was sort of like saying "although fingers obviously aren't part of the nervous system, a severed finger will prevent a dwarf from sparring, though he can still practice archery, strangely enough."
Hm. It might be a good idea to combine nervous and severing/gouging injuries into a single Wounds That Never Heal or something section, or just have an entire Wounds and Sparring section. Arrkhal 16:49, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
