Blessed_hammer.png Once, legions of the undead laid siege to a small convent of nuns who were the keepers of a sacred relic, the Hammer of Ghrab Thaar. Rather than letting it fall into the hands of evil, the nuns took the Hammer and plunged themselves into the fiery chasm within the convent, releasing a wave of holy light that destroyed the undead legion. Since that time a well-trained Paladin is able to tap the remnants of this released energy, summoning a magical hammer to strike down her adversaries.

This is a Hybrid Damage Based Combat Art.

Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

  • Any weapon lore applicable to the weapon in use (for example, Sword Lore when the Paladin is wielding a sword), will increase Blessed Hammer's chance to hit by increasing the attack rating. Weapon lore skills won't affect Blessed Hammer in any other way however.
