A '''heavy hammer''' is a melee weapon introduced in [[SLASH'EM]].  It is similar to a [[war hammer]], using the same skill, but does slightly more damage.  It is not randomly generated, but instead serves as a base item for [[Mjollnir]], instead of the weaker war hammer.  Unfortunately, it is not much stronger, and Mjollnir remains a very weak weapon indeed against [[shock resistant]] monsters.  Note that heavy hammers are made of the intrinsically [[erodeproof]] material "[[metal]]"; as such, a fully identified Mjollnir will not be ''the rustproof +7 Mjollnir'', but merely ''the +7 Mjollnir''.  Don't waste [[scroll of enchant weapon|scrolls of enchant weapon]] trying to rustproof it.

A heavy hammer is a melee weapon introduced in SLASH'EM. It is similar to a war hammer, using the same skill, but does slightly more damage. It is not randomly generated, but instead serves as a base item for Mjollnir, instead of the weaker war hammer. Unfortunately, it is not much stronger, and Mjollnir remains a very weak weapon indeed against shock resistant monsters. Note that, because heavy hammers are made of the intrinsically erodeproof material "metal", a fully identified Mjollnir is not called the rustproof +7 Mjollnir, but merely the +7 Mjollnir. Don't waste scrolls of enchant weapon trying to rustproof it.

It is possible to wish for a plain heavy hammer, similar to a runesword or a tsurugi, but there is no reason to do so.
