Zey are weakened!
The Medic, reporting on the enemy's status

The Solemn Vow is a melee weapon for the Medic. It is a marble bust of Template:W, inset with a plaque reading "Do no harm," the guiding principle of the Template:W.

Having this weapon in the loadout allows the player to view enemy health and names (in the same manner as the Spy), providing strategic information that could aid the team.

The item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Bonesaw.
