Giantbane

This oversized, two-handed maul has a massive steel head. The wooden haft is reinforced by steel bands, making the weapon so heavy the wielder must have a minimum Strength of 1 higher than normal. It was created by dwarves to be wielded by their heroes in their mountain wars against the giants. The last bearer of the maul disappeared under a horde of enemies, and it is believed that looters made off with it after the battle. Against giants and giant-like foes, such as ogres and trolls, the maul does an additional 2 points of damage. This bonus is in addition to the masterwork benefit.
