Hey all, I'm trying to make what is essentially thor's hammer that one of my players finally became worthy to wield, but the homebrew item creator is killing me. It's supposed to be a Scepter that does 1d8 melee or ranged weapon attack damage that uses their DEX + proff to hit and WIS for the damage bonus, but for the life of me I can not get these properties onto an item. Would anyone be willing to help me?
You cannot change base damage, you will have to start with a d8 weapon.
You cannot change base range for a weapon, you must use a weapon that already has the thrown property and already has the same range increments that you want.
You can add Finesse to the weapon, but that will use Dex or Str (whichever is higher) for both attack and damage. You cannot set a specific ability.
You cannot set it to use something different for the attack and damage, it has to use the same for both.
You cannot designate Wis for damage (or attacks) with the weapon.
Darn that's disappointing, I really appreciate the help though friend!
As usual, happy to help. You might just want to mostly use the Dwarven Thrower though anyway. You can list the Wis thing in the txt and the player can manually adjust that directly on their character sheet.

Start with a Dwarven Thrower and modify it to your liking.
- 1d8 damage
- throwing
-It is already Versatile.
Sposta is correct is that you cannot make Wis a damage modifier.

Yeah, but even DDB couldn’t actually add thrown to it properly. 🤷♂️
