+3 to hit vs. Popes, Cardinals, and Bishops. On hit, Popes who are alive but playing dead must save vs. Fortitude or die.
+5 damage and THAC0 against undead (Pope)
you know it’s an ancient artifact when it uses THAC0
Plot twist: THAC0 bonus actually reduced your THAC0
This felt like a personal attack
“One” hit
“Two” hit Pope: “Ouch!”
…
…
“What do we do now?” “Just hit harder, it’s a self-solving problem”
“Three” smash Pope: “OUCH!!!”
…
…
“Now what?”
Popehammer is my favorite Elder Scrolls artifact.
Pope Says he’s feeling better now…
It was in a book of papal facts my very Catholic childhood friend had on the bus one time, so I buy it. One additional aspect I remember is that they call them by their Christian/given name when they hit them.
It’s a silver hammer, so it could also check if the Pope is a werewolf.
Can’t let that happen again.
…again?
The events inspired the band Powerwolf.
The hammer is in fact eight feet long.
They’re making really sure.
Jesus allegedly came back, they aren’t taking those kinds of risks these days
Do you know how many more murals they’d have to paint?
So it’s correctly labeled as a factoid then
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.
A droid looks like a Dr. but isn’t? Am I getting this right?
Comes from Android. Like a human but isn’t.
it’s uncomfortably close to “femoid”
It was a different time.
my favourite fact is that “factoid” doesn’t mean “little fact” but is actually starting to mean that
What does it actually mean?
Edit: Nevermind, @jerkface already answered.
Is it to make sure, or is it to make sure?
The MitreSmiter 9000. Puts all doubt to rest.
They should abstain from the hammer this time round. Zombie pope is the 2025 twist no-one would see coming.
Bang bang Vatican’s gilded hammer came down on his head
