Talisman of the Hammers (Dwarven Priest of Moradin only)
This magical talisman, was crafted by one of the Highest priests of Moradin. It works similarly to the Necklace of Hammers, in that while worn, the Talisman substitutes itself, for the need to toss a normal War hammer for the Spiritual Hammer spell. Where this item differs from the afformentioned Necklace, is that when used, the priest (or fighter/priest) of Moradin, Substitute their weapon specialty, Strength and other bonuses he has, IN for what the spell normally would give. So if a Champion of Moradin (8th/8th level), had a 18/55 strength (+2 to hit, +3 to damage), would have a overall +3 to hit (due to being a specialist), and +5 to damage (due to specialty), AND Strike at 2/1, as he's a 8th/8th level fighter/priest, vice the normal +2 to hit/damage and 1/1 attack, he would normally gain via the Spiritual hammer spell. However, the spells + bonuses STILL count, for purposes of what the dwarf Can hit!
Similar to the necklace, the talisman has a # of charges, 5d4 (5 to 20), and can be recharged by a name level high priest or champion of Moradin, of at least 12th level.
As yet, there only exists a Talisman for priests of Moradin, unlike the Necklace, that can be used by other priests.
Necklace of Hammers (Priest only)
This magical necklace, appears to be like a normal “charm necklace', where it has from 11 to 19 small hammer like charms on the necklace (3d4 +8). When a priest (or fighter/priest), casts a Spiritual Hammer spell, he may substitute one of the charms from the necklace, for the hammer component of the spell.
Each charge used like this, improves the Bonus of the Spiritual hammer by +1.. So a 9th level priest, normally would have a +2 to hit/damage and what it strikes as, when using the SH spell, but using the charm from the necklace, it would
Instead make it +3!
Alternates of the hammer charms, exist for priests of other faiths, who have their OWN deities weapon coming into being, instead of the standard “hammer”, such as swords for Corellon Latheron, or Spears for priests of Gruumsh, or Axes for Clangeddin.
IT is not yet known, if this necklace, can get “recharged”, as it is a relatively new item.
