Hammerer cannot administer beatings.

says 'hammerer cancels beat criminal: Invalid officer.' despite being officer assigned. Sounds like game is not recognising hammerer being guard, perhaps?

I gathered the purpose of the Hammerer was to administer hammerstrikes, not beatings, but I had this same problem when my Captain of the Guard died and my Hammerer lived on.  It seemed to go away after I assigned someone to the fortress guard, who received the beating assignments (not that she could do them from her recovery bed, but whatever.)  Still, that's just a temporary kludge.

Yeah, sounds like a straightforward thing to handle.  Thanks for the report.

With the amount of times the sheriff or captain of the guard goes berzerk and gets himself/herself killed, I really hope Toady puts in a feature where nobles get replaced.

I can't understand these complaints about the sheriff. I've never had any problems with him. Or, at least not after I noticed him getting unhappy because of the lack of chains. I made the chains he wanted, and after that (in the course of three games) I've never seen my sheriff even unhappy. He's never tantrumed.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Getting those chains if you weren't expecting him can take some time. Mine was getting pretty close to the edge before my goddamn clothemsakers finished the last rope and someobyd took it to the pile so I could acutally place it.
