Blunt Weapon Recipes

A small, throwable hammer that deals bludgeoning damage. It’s easy to use one-handed and can be thrown at enemies at short range. Great for characters who want a backup ranged option without switching gear.

Light Hammer

Melee weapon (simple, light hammer)

Light. A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons.

Thrown. If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a handaxe, you use your Strength, but if you throw a dagger, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the dagger has the finesse property.
