Class Features[edit]

All of the following are class features of the Hammerlord.

Formidable Strength (Ex): Carrying such a huge hammer all the time made the Hammerlord quite strong, he may now wield his gigas hammer without penalty no matter his strength score and he count as having a strength eight point higher for the purpose of calculating his carrying capacity.

Master of the Hammer (Ex): A hammerlord is quite good with his tool of trade, the Gigas Hammer, so much that he may always count his gigas hammer as having the ghosttouch and impact enchantment. Additionally once per encounter he may cast Greater Might Wallop on his gigas hammer as a swift action with a caster level equal to his character level, however the duration is only 3 round.

Hammerlord Strike (Ex): A 2nd level Hammerlord inflict more damage with his gigas hammer. At 2nd level he deal an additional 1d6 damage to all attacks made with a gigas hammer. the damage dealt by his gigas hammer increase by one d6 at 4th and each even level thereafter.

Overwhelming Blow (Ex): A 3rd level Hammerlord gain the overwhelming blow feat as a bonus feat, he does not need to meet the prerequisites.

Overwhelming Smash (Ex): A 4th level Hammerlord may now make a smash attack as he use overwhelming blow.

Render Flat (Ex): A 5th level Hammerlord may make an especially vicious attack against immobilized, stunned, staggered or helpless creatures.

If a creature is slain by render flat it is squished in a bloody fashion leaving all squares the creature occupied plus each square within the creature's natural reach slippery difficult terrain.

Super Sweep (Ex): A 6th level Hammerlord may now make an attack against any number of square within his reach when he make a sweep attack with his gigas hammer.
