An ancient tradition has it that clerics who fought in battles in bygone

times were armed with maces only in order to avoid shedding blood.

This custom of 'sine effusione sanguinis' appears to be based almost

entirely on a lesser-known part of the Bayeaux Tapestry which depicts

Bishop Odo wielding a club-like mace at the Battle of Hastings.

This ancient tradition found new favor among modern fans of Dungeons

and Dragons Games which, early versions, similarly restricted the power

of the Cleric Class to wielding on bludgeoning weapons in battle.

This 'rule' has since then been widely imitated.
