Runehammer +4 is an enchanted hammer, which inflicts 2d4 +4 points of damage and 4-16 +8 points of damage against undead creatures, plus they must make saving throw vs. death with a -4 penalty or be destroyed instantly. The weapon also provides the wielder protection from energy from the negative plane, which makes them immune to Level drain.

The hammer gives the wielder a -4 THAC0 bonus, the weapon itself weighs only 3 lbs and it has a speed factor of 0. The wielder must have a Strength of at least 16, which is a lot higher than normal for war hammers. This item appears in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. It's dropped by Yaga-Shura when he is killed. The weapon can be upgraded by Cespenar, which requires the Rune of Clangeddin and some gold.
