Talk:Hammerer

From DwarfFortressWiki

I saw it mentioned somewhere - on either the bay12 forums or elsewhere on this wiki - that if you strip a Hammerer of his hammer (mark it for dumping), he'll not pick up another one, and will 'hammer' people unarmed instead. Certainly this seems to be working for me so far; out of two prescribed 'hammerings' I've had one Carpenter come out with a bruised lower spine, and a Swordsdwarf come out unscathed (likely thanks to his chainmail). Not yet any skill in wrestling for the Hammerer either (not even dabbling). -- Raumkraut 13:56, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

Nice find, why not add that to the article?--Richards 03:00, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Arrives with Baron

Can anyone verify this?--Richards 03:00, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

I've had this happen recently; that is, the hammerer and baron arriving together. I've only had a baron arrive once, however, so this is hardly conclusive. Also this baron promptly ruined the fort with his 'economy' and 'coin' and other seditious ideas, but that's beside the point.--Dadamh 14:59, 30 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Finished off a goblin invader

Just fended off my second invasion of goblins first with trolls.(I love cage traps) He killed off a goblin with heavy injuries from the stone traps bare-handed as I dumped his hammer. I'd like to give him a hammer (a weak one) for effort :) My point is that he'll help fighting.--Seaneat 18:18, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
