Weapon Group: Hammers

Pictured here: 1) light hammer, 2) light mace, 3) warhammer, 4) club, 5) heavy mace or chuí, 6) earthbreaker, 7) greatclub or tetsubo, 8) planson or wolf-tooth club, 9) dwarven longhammer, and 10) lucerne hammer.

Brutal and utilitarian, hammer-type weapons are synonymous with physical strength in battle.  Lacking the grace of blades, the reach of spears, or the utilty of flails, they rely only upon sheer mass to accomplish their task and they are good at it.  Few things are as intimidating in a fight as a weighted hammer in the hands of a fighter with the muscles to make use of it.

CHAIN-HAMMER
Damage: 1d6/1d6, x2
Range: 20 ft
Type: Two-handed exotic bludgeoning
Special: Double, finesse, trip
Description: This pair of hammers or other heavy weights is linked by a loose chain. While the two hammers are balanced to wield in melee together, they can also be hurled as a pair by a proficient wielder, both striking the same target as if using the Manyshot feat.  Alternately, the chain is long enough that you can throw one hammer a short distance and then pull it back; pulling the chain to retrieve the thrown hammer is a swift action. The chain-hammer’s maximum throwing range is 10 feet when used in this manner.

COMBAT SCABBARD

DWARVEN LONGHAMMER
Damage: 2d6, x3
Type: Two-handed exotic bludgeoning
Special: Reach
Description: These heavy-headed bludgeons are often carved or cast with monstrous faces or drilled with tiny holes to create a menacing whistling as they are swung through the air.

Weight: 20 lbs

EARTHBREAKER
Damage: 2d6, x3
Type: Two-handed martial bludgeoning
Special: —
Description:  The crude metal of this massive hammer’s head ends in multiple blunt spikes that help concentrate the force of a powerful swing down into a smaller, more focused area, allowing it to smash through armor with greater ease. Due to the tremendous size and weight of its head, an earth breaker is poorly balanced, and requires two hands to properly lift and control.
Cost: 40 gp
Weight: 14 lbs

GREATCLUB [TETSUBO]
Damage: 1d10, x2
Type: Two-handed martial bludgeoning
