Talk:Megaton Hammer (3.5e Equipment)

(Constructive) Feedback on the weapon is welcome :) This is the first thing that I've made for DnD that I've posted on an internet site, so be forgiving if you don't like it! Thanks :)

Abiding by the examples of Str provided in the 3.5 PHB, and with the weight you state this weapon has, a character would need at least 46, possibly more, as this thing is extremely heavy.   Hooper   talk    contribs    email   08:23, 29 August 2009 (MDT)

You may be right, although the PHB wasn't in my mind when I was making this weapon. The idea was to push a character with an outstanding strength score (24 in this case) to heavy load just by carrying this weapon around. If the strength requirement were set at 46, it wouldn't be usable by non-optimized fighters. I like the flavour of the weapon as it is: a high strength score (for a non min-maxed character) which would place the wielder in at least a medium load just by the weight of the weapon. --007sparta 17:39, 1 September 2009 (MDT)

Based upon the sheer weight of this weapon you would have to increase the damage of the weapon, and thus the cost as well. Also, I would recommend that you should alter some of the other statistics about this weapon as well, (Materials or methods used to create it, etc.) The idea of the megaton hammer (which is from the Legend of Zelda series, originally debuted as the Magic Hammer in LoZ: A Link to the Past) is sound, however the idea of converting it as a D&D weapon is unrealistic. The only reason why link was actually able to use the blasted thing is due to the Power Gloves (another LoZ: A Link to the Past throwback) I would recommend that the Megaton hammer be made into an artifact over a weapon for individual use. --ShadowLordArteis 22:06, 24 November 2012 (PST)
