Summary0003030: marksdwarves using crossbow as club become hammerdwarfs
DescriptionSome of my marksdwarves got caught by an alligator without any ammo, and proceded to bash the things brains in instead. I get the message that one of them has now become a hammerdwarf. Is this a feature? Shouldnt using a crossbow as a club fall under the "improvised" weapon skill (forgot exact title of skill - sorry)? Otherwise it seems an odd way to improve 2 combat skills, marksmanship while he has ammo, them hammerdwarf(manship?) when he is out of ammo, all with a crossbow.

This is currently intended behavior.

When a dwarf isn't able to shoot his crossbow, he'll bash with it using the hammer skill.

As the raws show:
[SKILL:HAMMER]
