Paladin's Hammer

The Paladin's Hammer is a rare drop from the Paladin, who is only found in the Hardmode Dungeon. It is an extremely fast returning boomerang, which has one of the shortest ranges for a boomerang-classed weapon. If it gets the proper equipment this weapon can become one of the deadliest available and, with the right modifiers and equipment, can reach or exceed 220 damage. This weapon hits through enemies, proceeding until the hammer hits a solid wall or reaches the limit it can go before returning, allowing for insane accumulative damage against enemies such as the Destroyer. As with all modifiable boomerangs, the best prefix for the Paladin's Hammer is Godly.

Trivia

 * The Hammer is a common choice of weapon for paladins in many fantasy games. In most traditional cases hammers aren't throwing weapons, nor do they function like boomerangs without the aid of magic.


 * The "Flying Hammer" is likely not a nod toward "Diablo 2".

Anomaly

 * When running fast (wearing Lightning Boots on Asphalt) if the hammer is thrown in the direction away from where your running to, given enough melee speed, a second instance of the hammer can be thrown before the first has returned
