Usable by fighters and clerics. War hammers may be used as melee or missile weapons. Unless otherwise noted, they do not return when thrown. War hammers are included in the set of standard clerical weapons.
See the appropriate section.
Level N. This +N weapon has double normal range.
Level 2. This weapon acts as a +1 war hammer. In addition, when the hammer is thrown and hits its target, two Lightning Bolts of 4D6 each fly from the head of the hammer. The bolts strike at the two nearest targets within 60'. (The wielder of the hammer is not excluded.) These two targets each get a saving throw vs. physical to avoid the damage. The bolts will not bounce, ricochet, or strike anyone other than their intended targets.
Level N+1. This +N weapon returns to the thrower in the same round, whether it hits or not.
