Talk:Lucerne Hammer (5e Equipment)

Wouldn't a d10 be more appropriate for this weapon given it's a polearm? Also, it seems pretty expensive for what it is. PunnyDM12 (talk) 21:03, 21 November 2018 (MST)

While a d10 is more appropriate, due to the special properties of the hammer, I thought it would be a bit too powerful compared to a normal polearm, so I opted for a d8. The expense is just because I was half asleep though. JisatsuHaisha (talk) 21:37, 21 November 2018 (MST)

I suppose that's fair enough. Though the horse rider thing might be a bit redundant. Just because something was used against something else doesn't necessarily mean it should get a benefit. Pikes were often used to fight cavalry, but they don't get a bonus in the phb. Additionally, warhammers were used to combat heavy armor and they don't get special benefits (unless you use rule variants I suppose). I think the d10 die with the two damage types might suit the weapon better than the special ability, but that's just my two cents. PunnyDM12 (talk) 00:17, 22 November 2018 (MST)
