Spiritual Hammer is a 2nd level priest spell only usable by clerics and paladins. It creates a magical hammer for use in combat.
Effects[]
| “ | By calling upon [their] deity, the caster of a Spiritual Hammer spell brings into existence a magical hammer, which [they] can use for the duration of the spell. It strikes as a magical weapon with a bonus of +1 for every 6 experience levels (or fraction) of the caster, up to a total of +3 to the attack roll and +3 to the damage roll for a 13th-level caster. The base damage inflicted when it scores a hit is exactly the same as a normal war hammer (1d4+1 vs. opponents of man-size or smaller and 1d4 upon larger opponents, plus the magical bonus). | ” |
Gameplay[]
- Despite the description, size dependent damage is not implemented in the series; this weapon simply has a base damage of 1d4+1 vs. targets of any size.
- The spiritual hammer deals crushing damage and has a range of 1 ft. See the table below for the other characteristics:
|
Caster Level |
Ench. Level | Damage | THAC0 Bonus | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 - 6 | 1 | 1d4+2 | -1 | 3 |
| 7 - 12 | 2 | 1d4+3 | -2 | 2 |
| 13+ | 3 | 1d4+4 | -3 | 1 |
- The spiritual hammer does not have a proficiency class, meaning it does not gain any benefits nor does it impose penalties based on proficiency.
- Like all spell-created weapons, if a character dual-wields while the spiritual hammer is active, their off-hand weapon will not suffer any off-hand THAC0 penalty.
