The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They are traditionally timber framed, using short beams projecting from the wall on which the rafters land, essentially a tie beam which has the middle cut out.
- These short beams are called hammer-beams and give this truss its name.
- A hammerbeam roof can have a single, double or false hammerbeam truss.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hammerbeam roof article was read about 23,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 46: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
