+3 to hit vs. Popes, Cardinals, and Bishops. On hit, Popes who are alive but playing dead must save vs. Fortitude or die.

It's a silver hammer, so it could also check if the Pope is a werewolf.

Can't let that happen again.

The hammer is actually a 100lb two handed weapon

my favourite fact is that “factoid” doesn’t mean “little fact” but is actually starting to mean that

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

What does it actually mean?

Edit: Nevermind, @jerkface already answered.

Hit him once. If he is silent, hit him again. If he is silent again, hit him again. If he remains silent, he is dead.

Hit him once. If he shouts, you've got two more swings to make him stop.

So it's correctly labeled as a factoid then

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The -oid suffix is used to describe something that appears like something else, but is not that thing. An asteroid is something that looks like a star, but isn't. A factoid is something that looks like a fact, but isn't.

I used to introduce my common-law partner as my "wifeoid." She hated that but sometimes it is okay to put your own pleasure first.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it's uncomfortably close to "femoid"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

It was a different time.

A droid looks like a Dr. but isn't? Am I getting this right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Comes from Android. Like a human but isn’t.

D'oh, it should say "another target Cleric" to avoid confusion.

What about the holy hand grenade?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

First shalt thou take out the Holy Hammer. Then, shalt thou strike three times, no more, no less.

Three shalt be the number thou shalt strike, and the number of the striking shall be three. Four shalt thou not strike, nor either strike thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.

Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, thy pope shall snuff it.

Is it to make sure, or is it to make sure?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

They should abstain from the hammer this time round. Zombie pope is the 2025 twist no-one would see coming.

"One" hit

"Two" hit Pope: "Ouch!"

...

...

"What do we do now?" "Just hit harder, it's a self-solving problem"

I bought one of those at Harbor Freight for like ¼ the price the Vatican probably paid.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Yeah but it breaks after hitting 2 popes

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

that's still a good 40-50 years of use!

I have one of these on my coffee table that’s decoration. Found it just laying in some room when I visited the Vatican in the 90s. Weird.

It gives +5 to-hit and damage, +2d6 holy damage, +5 to carpentry skill, and can only be equipped by Catholics. It deals double damage to lycanthropes.

Well you have to be sure. I wonder where they keep the Pope hammer in between deaths

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Maybe the pope gets a bonk every day to ensure that he is, in fact, still alive?

The ancient custom of throwing the body into the Tiber river is too unrefined for these modern times

"I fear the Pope has died!"

"You can't say things like that! You have to be sure!"

*wham-"Ack!!" wham wham

"OK, I'm sure the pope is dead."

Clearly an anti zombie tool. Can't have the pope rising from the dead, it'd mess up the church's image.

The silver hammer of Saint Maxwell.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That is some Guilliman level artifact
