Sorry if I'm doing this wrong, but are there any 2 Handed hammers? Can't seem to find any information on it.

I just posted this in another thread but the Curse of the Crimson Throne players guide has the Earthbreaker hammer that's really good and two-handed. Also martial. The player's guide is available here for free.

I second this one. It's nice example how powerful exotic weapons should be in my opinion.

Or you could get all the weapons in Pathfinder for free here (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/weapons).

Well there you go. :]. I didn't realize they included the weapons from the player's guides in there.

Hmm, I was hoping the Executioner's Axe from the Age of Worms might make it in there...

Considering Wulfgar uses one you'd think DnD would have put one in the PHB

Wuflgar just uses a 1H hammer 2-handed. You ever see the size of the hammer in his hands...that's not a 2H'er.

It's not what you asked for but more a shot in the dark at being helpful, if you're asking for hammer advice because you need bludgeoning damage for some reason Unapproachable East has a spell called Earth Sheath that makes your weapon deal bludgeoning damage. Also, nice avi.

In Silver Marches, it's a Throwing Returning Maul (in 3.0 FRCS, Mauls were 2 handed martial- in 3.5 (Complete Warrior), the option to wield them one-handed as an exotic weapon, was there.)

The novels specifically state it's a one-handed weapon.

On the cover of The Crystal Shard, he's holding it two-handed.

And that's the way he usually fights with it- making use of both hands. He's never depicted with a shield.

While it might be wieldable one-handed (and called a warhammer) the "maul" interpretation of Silver Marches, (especially with the revision of the maul in Complete Warrior) seems reasonable.

I thought it was an executioner's mace. Regardless, that thing is awesome.

Indeed- morningstar with axe blade.

It's name in the Dungeon issue covering the end of the Age of Worms path, is Executioner's Mace.

Yeah, I was getting confused...Executioners Mace indeed.

You can see it on the front of Elder Evils:

Why on earth would an executioner use a mace?

You obviously have an older version of the crystal shard, with different artwork.

Look at this picture. http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170653115l/66693.jpg

To make sure their Coup de Grace overcomes DR and gets the Fort save high enough?

No idea, but I'm sure if you beaned someone with this thing, he'd be dead anyway.

Well, despite it's name, as you can see in the pic above, it has a whopping great axe blade attached, so it should do the job. :smallbiggrin:

The name, I believe, comes from it being the favored weapon of a cult of Kyuss worshippers (I might be mislead here).

Incidentally, it's one of the few weapons capable of doing bludgeoning and/or slashing damage, so it's nice for low-level undead hunting (skeletons and zombies).

Planar Handbook has the hilariously named Ramhammer. Exotic reach weapon, can be used to bull rush.

In my core only game, I ruled that a massive two-handed hammer is just a Greatclub that looks like a warhammer. No additional material required. :smallbiggrin:

In one of my games, a pc wanted to use a two handed hammer so I thought this (could be off)

longsword? 1d8
warhammer? 1d8

greatsword is two handed sword? 2d6
big hammer is two handed warhamer? 2d6

done :smallbiggrin:

Ah, Hammers... The reason they rock is singularly because of the Minotaur Greathammer. Totally worth a feat to use. Heck, with the right PrCs, it could be a crit-mine

Big hammer would be 1d12, it's closer to a greataxe then a greatsword.
