MM IV: Greathammer misprint?

[Asmor]

Is the Greathammer on page 101 a misprint? It seems overly powerful (1d12, 19-20/x4, +2 on sunder checks), and upon further research I found two things to suggest that the critical rating should just be 20/x4:

1: It's identical to the Goliath Greathammer from Races of Stone, except that the Goliath Greathammer is just a 20/x4 crit

2: The minotaur's statblock lists the damage for the hammer as "3d6+10/x4" with no mention of 19-20.

So is it just an obscenely powerful weapon and this was intentional, or is it a misprint? I'm leaning towards the latter, and that's how I'd rule in my own game, but I'm curious if there's been an official word on it.

It's a misprint.

That's got to be a misprint... it'd be insane otherwise.

 

[Quartz]

3d6+10/x4?! That's an average of 82 HP on a critical hit!

It's a special minotaur weapon that gains an extra minotaur coolness bonus.

Which the author forgot to include in the minotaur's stat block...

Not like it's the only stat block error in that book... Or even that stat block. >_<

It is either a balanced 2 handed 1d12 x4 exotic hammer or a broken 2 handed 1d12 19-20 x4 exotic hammer.

I know the version I'd allow in my games.
