Winged Hammer

Weapon (warhammer), very rare (requires attunement)

This +1 magical warhammer has wings carved into both sides of its head.

The wielder may use a bonus action to toss the hammer into the air and speak a command word. The hammer will spring from their grasp and begin to fight independently.

Upon speaking the command word, the hammer will fly up to 30 feet and attack a creature of the wielder’s choice within 5 feet. The hammer applies all proficiency and ability score modifiers of the wielder to attack and damage rolls.

Each round the wielder may use their bonus action to have the hammer fly up to 30 feet and attack a creature within 5 feet.

On the third round of consecutive attacks the hammer will attack with advantage, on the sixth round of consecutive attacks the hammer will attack with disadvantage. After it’s sixth attack it will fall to the ground.

Once this feature is used, the wielder must finish a short rest before it can be used again.

Dwarven priests claim to know of unique winged hammers that possess special abilities.
