Function

The Hammerer is a noble which is supposed to arrive with the Template:L - in version 0.31, however, bugs apparently prevent the arrival of any immigrant nobles. If your Template:L is busy, your Template:L is full, or a particularly heinous crime is comitted, the hammerer will deliver a series of hammerstrikes, most likely leading to death or serious injury for the criminal (most often a random metalsmith who couldn't satisfy a noble's Template:L for Template:L earrings).

It is recommended that you either injure your Hammerer to the point where he can't dispense his vigilante brand of Dwarven Justice, replace his hammer with a almost-harmless Template:L one, or trap him in a room and dump food down a hole for him to eat. Killing your Hammerer outright will likely lead to another one arriving later[Verify]. The easiest way to deal with the hammerer is to simply lock him in his room. It takes quite some time for him to die of thirst and if the next one arrives, simple unlock the door, assign the room to him and repeat the procedure.

Notes in the dwarf entity raws suggest that Toady One plans on making the Hammerer's choice of Template:L modifiable in the future.
