A late medieval melee weapon consisting of a long handle with a blunt-faced hammer head, often with a spike to pierce armor. It was designed to deliver heavy damage against well-armored opponents through sheer blunt force.
Real life war hammers range in size from not much bigger than a regular carpentry hammer, used by cavalry, to long polearms carried by infantry. This tag can also be applied to huge fantasy weapons depicted simply as an oversized hammer or sledgehammer.
