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 245 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 Modifier for the Paladin's Hammer is Godly.

Trivia

 * The hammer is a common choice of weapon for paladins in many fantasy games. In most cases however, hammers aren't throwing weapons, nor do they function like boomerangs without the aid of magic.
 * This weapon bears a resemblance to Mjölnir, the magical hammer of the Norse god Thor, which would return to his hand after being thrown.
 * This weapon also bears a resemblance to the "Blessed Hammer" ability of paladins in Diablo II.
