However, if the crime was particularly [[fun]], the hammerer will execute the criminal by using a [[chain]] to restrain them, and then using a [[weapon]] that uses the Hammerman [[combat skill]] to deliver a number of hammerstrikes; in most cases, a [[war hammer]]. While this typically results in the death of the criminal, it is possible for a particularly lucky and tough dwarf to survive the hammering, in which case they are released. |

Hammerers are an ineffective way of killing vampires, however, as most non-military dwarves are not strong or skilled enough to kill one due to their enhanced toughness, leading them to free the vampire back into the fortress where it can murder innocents again. |

If you want a hammerer but would prefer to up the chances of dwarves surviving hammerstrikes, avoid letting them get their hands on a war hammer that's of high quality and made of good metal like [[steel]] and [[silver]], and give them something of poorer quality instead. |
