If you're talking about Crom Faeyr, that hammer kills golems too.

He is probably refering to the War Hammer +1 / +4 vs. Giants from the de'Arnise Keep.

Isn't that a dwarven hammer?
So i figured that dwarfs see all humanoids as giants, but I never use it anyway.

PS. there is a giant in the watercity (don't recall the name)

nephtu · Post by **nephtu** » Mon Dec 16, 2002 2:47 pm

To clarify...

No, I'm not talking about Crom Faeyr (which is very nice), I'm talking about one called the Kneecapper, or some such, correctly identified as +1, +4 vs. Giant types - yes, there are a few ettins that it will probably work on, but they're severely lame-o fights by the time you get to them without that

It's sort of like putting in a Sword of ultimate Green Dragon smushification +1/+86 versus Green Dragons, but no Green Dragons to fight either! Now, maybe a ring of bovine protection would be a different matter.....

I think that giant trolls and the big golems count as giants, but I could be mistaken. I know the dwarven thrower does extra damage to those atleast.

"Now, maybe a ring of bovine protection would be a different matter....."

Neph, are you aware there really is a spell called "summon cow" i actually use on a regular basis???

level 2 mage spell, will drop a cow on enemy, once it killed firky for me,.....

and yes, you actually see a poor betsy fall from ceiling on the enemy.,...

just create "scrlzz" and now your mages can summon a cow and drop it on dragons..

so a ring of bovine protection will protect you from summon cow...right???

actually a very good spell, bypasses magic resistance, and does the same type of damage as ring of ram...
