The Black Hammer

The Black Hammer was an enchanted warhammer crafted out of a horn of an ancient black dragon.

Powers
The Black Hammer possessed a +2 enchantment and, due to the material it was carved out of, the hammer's head was always excreting powerful acid. When the wielder swung and hit the opponent with the Black Hammer, its enchantment inadvertently splashed everyone around them with acid. The hammer also gave the wielder darkvision.

History
Sometime before 1372 DR, the Black Hammer belonged to an evil and cruel priestess of Bhaal, Niaal Sortan. She used this magical hammer as both a weapon of war and a torture device as it constantly dripped with caustic acid. She often ventured outside her temple in Liam's Hold for her late-night sadistic adventures. One such nightly trip ended up costing her her life when she was ambushed by a group of rangers seeking to end her evil life. Even though they ended the priestess, they themselves succumbed to the splash damage of the hammer, leaving no-one alive in the aftermath of the battle.
