The essence of gritty heroism. Do the job, and DIE doing it.The warhammer picture from eBay seems to be a light warhammer. An honest-to-god 1d8 x3 warhammer, I think, would look more like a sledge. And at any rate, other than the wooden handle, that thing looked perfect for the job. Blunt on one side, with a pick on the other. Perfect if we're talking masonry wall as opposed to hewn stone."I have had EIGHT HOUR DAYS in which I HOPED the Goddamn hammer would break!"-- ROFL. That about sums it up.As for my vote, which should be obvious by now, the DM was _wrong_ on this one.Wulf</blockquote>
