Oh it's definitely there to help him, i just think it's probably closer to a wheelchair then a full prosthetic. He hasn't replaced any body parts, just put their function into a mechanical device.

There are serval types of body changes and modifications that Mathilde knows about. There is the Dwarf becoming Stone from using magic, magical and or technically prosthetics, divine enhancements like Grail Knights and the becoming more attuned to a Wind and eventually Ascension.
Mathilde could study Dwarves becoming stone from magic use, but the only way she'd really feel comfortable going all in would be to study Chaos Dwarves and the stone process.
The magical prosthetic project is something I think should be looked into and researched more. It's really cool and could have a lot of benefits both for the people who get them and Mathilde for creating them. Maybe Mathilde can learn more on a Nehekhara trip.
Divine enhancements is probably the thing that would need Theurgy to pull off.
Ascension is something that can be worked on both in the short term and the long term. Short term mastering the current Arcane Marks and picking up more isn't too hard. Then there is further researching the soul and how Dragons do what they do.

Iirc the empire can do basic, mundane prosthetics itself. If someone needs an arm or leg that's possible, just not the fully self moving types.
Oh yeah, i was mostly talking about the basic ones that existed irl. You can have a claw or a leg. The actually fully working ones are magic or steampunk.
Yeah only the richest people would have access to magical prosthetics due to how rare and expensive they are. Karaz Ankor would likely only accept Rune prosthetics because they wouldn't feel comfortable with Wind Magic.
Yeah the ones Mathilde would make would be badass magic prosthetics. I am curious what each Wind would be able to do in a prosthetic.
A top quality prosthetic would likely need magic or Rune magic and any mundane prosthetic that equals it would be a one off thing of someone extremely skilled.

If we're on the subject, the leader of the Karaz-a-Karak Engineer's Guild, Burlock Damminson, has a mechanical prosthetic replacing the arm he lost when a pressure vessel he was working on exploded.

I mean, that's what Boney's been saying this whole time.
If you want Dwarfen mass-production, they're right there. I'm sure the Dawi-Zharr will be interested in doing business.
How wonderfully evil. I'm very happy we're finally getting Chaos Dwarves.

We did have the option to do a much deeper dive into a magical prosthetic, except the thread chose not to. Or, rather, instead of disassembling it, we chose to give the thing to Johann for his own use.
And then when Mathilde and the others tried to write a research paper on what they learned, I think the rolls went way against them...

The rolls weren't that bad.
And there was no guarantee that dismantling it would have taught us anything and may have just destroyed it.
Chapter 6: Special Equipment ~Replacements, Appendages, & Enhancements~ pg 77-78.
List of items consists of:
Ear Horns
Eye Patch
False Eye
False Leg
Gilded Nose
Hook
Skid Board
Skull Plate
Tattoo
Teeth Caps
Veteran's hand
Wooden teeth.
I like the idea of a tattoo as a prosthetic. Obviously not the intent here, but still funny.

4e has steamwork prosthetics that function mostly as normal limbs, but they wouldn't exist in DL.

There's quite a lot of stuff for prosthetic use it seems. Like, yeah the most advanced stuff is pretty expensive, but it seems like there is a wide variety of prosthesis and it's available to quite a few people. I suppose in a world where survival is paramount and danger is constant, losing limbs and finding replacements becomes quite important.

Is that quest-canon?
(I assume you're talking about Deathfang's spiel)

No, Deathfang's story is just that. A story. No proof. He could be bullshitting.
But outside this quest, I thought Boney might like to know that he guessed right.

No, I mean, where in Deathfang's story did it say the Fimir worshipped the Chaos Gods pre-Old Ones?No, Deathfang's story is just that. A story. No proof. He could be bullshitting.

"Attracted by the jealous whispers of the Fimir and the broken despair of the Shartak, the Ruinous Powers turned their eyes to this world. After ten thousand years of their insidious scratching, they finally found an opening. "

Iirc Deathfang said the dragons came before the Old Ones, drove the Dragon Ogres (shartak) off the mountain peaks and into conflict with the Fimir, and the Fimir and Shartak both became chaos worshipers then? Or something like that.
