This mallet houses a crude mechanism that allows a creature with innate fire abilities to ignite a dense fuel chamber inside the hammerhead. The wielder may fire up the chamber to propel the mallet into a single devastating attack.
Flame-Propelled Smash. As an action, you make a decisive overhead strike with the BFH. Make a melee weapon attack against one target within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the weapon deals an extra 4d6 bludgeoning damage and Large or smaller creatures must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. The DC for the saving throw equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier before you need to take a Long Rest.
Only Medium or larger creatures with a Strength score of at least 13 and innate fire abilities may use Flame-Propelled Smash. The chamber fuel and conductor oil must be replaced every month. A hammer with no oil or fuel works as a regular Maul.
Proficiency with a Maul allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
