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.
Popehammer is my favorite Elder Scrolls artifact.
This is false! Everybody knows that they smother the pope’s face with a huge hoe’s ass to confirm his death.
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?
+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?”
Pope Says he’s feeling better now…
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 Pope was bitten by a wolf while going out for a shit. Somebody call Maxwell!”
Check the bathroom window for finger prints.
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.
+3 to hit vs. Popes, Cardinals, and Bishops. On hit, Popes who are alive but playing dead must save vs. Fortitude or die.
The hammer is in fact eight feet long.
They’re making really sure.
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.
“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.”
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.
In this case it seems to fit pretty well.
Bang bang Vatican’s gilded hammer came down on his head
do do dooo do
Bang bang Vatican’s gilded hammer made sure that he was dead
whoa-o whoa-o whoa-o whoa-oPope Joan was quizzical…
