 ==Description==
-The Hammer of the Gods has +1d8 [[to-hit]] and deals [[double damage]] to [[demon]]s and [[undead]] (before silver damage is applied). While wielded, the artifact confers [[sickness resistance]] and [[Warned of monster type|warns of demons and undead]]; it also emits light as Sunsword does and blocks [[demon gating]] as with Demonbane. Additionally, it can be tethered and [[thrown]] similar to an [[aklys]] or [[Mjollnir]] if you are [[Skilled]] or better in [[hammer]].

 The Hammer's damage bonuses make it especially useful in the late game, where many of the most significant threats are demonic or undead. Sickness resistance is a significant boon, but largely situational; by the time the Hammer of the Gods is realistically accessible, the only monsters with sickness attacks that can pose any real threat to the player are [[Pestilence]] and [[Demogorgon]]. The utility of the Hammer of the Gods as a ranged weapon is also quite relevant: at skilled or higher in hammer, the player can easily kill powerful monsters such as [[Vecna]] or [[Lucifer]] from the safety of a [[boulder fort]] without taking any damage whatsoever.
-[[Drow (starting race)|Drow]] players may initially believe that the Hammer of the Gods is not a good weapon choice, as their to-hit and HP regen are lowered in the presence of light; however, the light can be overriden by darkness, such as from a cursed [[magic lamp]], or by wearing shadow-scaled armor.
