This warhammer has a recessed barrel in its head for fitting a single steel spike and blasting cap. When loaded with a spike, your first successful melee attack with the Ballistic Hammer does an additional [roll]1d6[/roll] piercing damage, ripping open a hole in the target creature's armour (or shield). The hole reduces the AC provided by the creature's armour or shield by 1 point. The armour or shield can be repaired using either the mend spell or smith's tools. Targets not wearing armour or using a shield take the additional piercing damage, but do not suffer a reduction in AC. It takes 2 uninterrupted minutes to reload the Ballistic Hammer. When not loaded with a spike, the Ballistic Hammer functions as a normal warhammer, although its attacks count as magical for the purposes of determining resistance.
Proficiency with a Warhammer allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
