+ | A '''war hammer''' is a [[attack types|blunt]] [[weapon]] that is essentially a hammer with a long handle. A war hammer is half the size of a [[mace]] with half the contact area as well, and less than 1/3 the size of a [[maul]]. Because blunt damage focused in a small contact area is mostly unaffected by [[armor]], war hammers are considered one of the best weapons for fighting humanoid opponents. | ||
War hammers use and train the [[hammerdwarf]] skill. Dwarves can [[forge]] effective war hammers out of any weapons-grade [[metal]], though those with higher densities (like [[silver]]) or higher impact fracture/yields (like [[steel]]) tend to cause more damage. All dwarves can equip war hammers, though [[Weapon#Size|a tiny fraction must use two hands]]. | War hammers use and train the [[hammerdwarf]] skill.
