Summary0004659: Ghosts are too strong
DescriptionMy fortress was deserted by invasion and forgotten beasts got out through cave ceiling after re-embark (also could be considered to be a bug). To destroy them I went to the site with legendary adventurer (maximized stats by cheatomatic), which was able to smash trolls by bare hands. All of sudden, dwarf baby ghost arises and torn away foot and hand of hero, who was almost invincible before. Second strike of ghost became lethal. It seems it was impossible to dodge or do anything. Second adventurer met same fate.
Looks like ghosts are one of most fearsome enemies now.
Steps To ReproduceJust come to abandoned fortress with ghosts by adventurer.
Additional InformationBaby was berserk before killed.
TagsNo tags attached.

Ghosts aren't really meant to be fought right now. Rather they are supposed to be laid to rest with proper burial. If Toady gets to phantoms for the next version, that may well change.

Maybe ghosts are supposed to be so strong?

Ghosts are supposed to be that way.

Only problem I see is that adventurer have no way to even survive them (not killing ghosts, just survive). Maybe there should be way, for example "turn undead"-like interaction that you could find written in book, needed before visiting haunted places...

Reminder sent to: Kogut

Might warrant reopening if someone has a save.
