Two-handed hammer

The two-handed Battle Hammer is a weapon that is designed to crush the foes with pure strength. Its blows can shatter bones, even through armour, and thus make it an excellent choice as a weapon. However, its weight also means that only the strongest fighters can successfully wield the mighty battle hammer without problems. Tinkers are especially fond of using hammers as weapons, and are often seen taking them to battle.

According to Vetron's Guide to Weapons and Armour, the battle hammer has a "9" effectiveness rating, making it one of the strongest weapons.

History
Hammers have been seen in the series since Ultima V. From that point onward, their function and high damage stayed the same. They were commonly found in the Sakkhra caves in Savage Empire.

Several special hammers appeared over time:


 * Juggernaut Hammer - A magical hammer that can be thrown and always comes back. Inflicts high damage.
 * Hammer of Dedication - Much like the Juggernaut Hammer, but with less destructive power. Comes from the time of the Ophidians.
 * Bonecrusher - Found on Pagan, capable of smashing the undead.
