Bare with me, it was D&D 4e so the format is different than what 5e uses.[ATTACH=full]129862[/ATTACH]This legendary hammer was the most prized relic of the McGillis dwarves, wielded by the king's personal bodyguard. It has a long history in the context of my campaign that I won't bore you with, but what I liked about it (and several other weapons and items I made for that campaign) was that it was also mechanically unique.It had unique powers that I think were interesting, and since the campaign used inherent bonuses (an optional 4e rule), it didn't even need to have an enhancement bonus at all!(Btw, I'm not implying that my way of making magic items is the be-all and-all and wotc should totally do it like me, I'm just using a concrete example to explain my personal preference)</blockquote>
