STONESTORM SLEDGEHAMMER
Weapon—Cannot be concealed, large, useful
This massive, two-handed weapon is really magical tool of dwarven design meant for work—not necessarily for battle—although its application is up to the user. Against stone or earth, the maul does DOUBLE ULTIMATE effort (2D12)—useful for breaking rocks, breaching stone walls, or flattening earthen ramparts. Its iron head and oaken shaft (above the leather-wrapped handle) will phase straight through any other materials, dealing only 1 point of magical damage to living creatures as it passes through them at speed on a successful melee attack and offering no reduction in structural integrity to inanimate objects made of anything but rock or dirt. Because of the tool’s strong and specific intrinsic magic, effort from a Stonestorm Sledgehammer cannot be further modified by other magic or abilities; it is what it is.
Notes:
- Because of the peculiar properties of the hammer, items of other materials layered or positioned in front of rock or dirt neither take damage from the tool when struck nor protect the earthen materials behind them; the hammer simply passes through, does its damageto the stone, and passes back as it is withdrawn.
- Against creatures and magical constructs made of earthen materials (e.g., earth elementals, stone golems), this hammer is a devastating melee weapon that deals its impressive full damage (2D12) as if they were inanimate earth or stone.
