Posted May 11, 2020cool, I really like the simplicity of the weapon.
I might re-word the part about replacing and instead say something along the lines of "because of its unique compartments and folding plates, the hammer is able to be dismantled into a fully working set of blacksmith's tools and later be put back together and make a warhammer." Just to give it some flair and really play up the mechanical aspect of artificers.

Posted May 11, 2020Thanks for the feedback! The focus was more of it doubling as a both an arcane focus and a warhammer so the artificer would not also have to have another tool in his off hand to cast spells.
