A war hammer is a 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 war hammers out of any weapons-grade metal, though those with higher densities (like silver) tend to cause more damage. All dwarves can equip war hammers, though a tiny fraction must use two hands.
