Dwarven Thrower

This hammer is the quintessential dwarven weapon.

Description. This double-headed hammer has a long haft and is well balanced. The craftsmanship is superb and the head is covered in dwarven runes.

• If wielded by a non-dwarf, the hammer performs as a +2 war hammer.

• When wielded by a dwarf fighter, the Dwarven Thrower performs as a +3 throwing hammer (without an additional stacking bonus).

• When thrown, the weapon does double damage and is treated as a giant-slayer (x3). The weapon does not gain the bane ability.

• When thrown, the weapon gains no penalties for range category.

Thus, when a dwarven fighter throws the hammer at a true giant of any kind, the range will be up to 60-ft., the hammer gains a +3 to the attack roll (plus any Dexterity modifier), does 3d4+9 damage on a successful strike (assuming the giant is Large) and the hammer will return to the hand of the dwarf that threw it. Against a man-sized, non-true giant foe, the thrown hammer does 2d4+6 damage. In melee, wielded by a dwarven fighter, the hammer performs as a +3 war hammer (and does not multiply damage).
