Hammer Mastery [Combat, Tactical] Prerequisites: Weapon Focus (any hammer)Benefit: You gain access to several tactical maneuvers when using a hammer:

Hammer Boomerang: You can throw your hammer as if it was a ranged weapon. It has a range increment of 15 feet, and returns to you at end of your turn. Throwing a two-handed hammer becomes a standard action, and throwing a one-handed hammer becomes an attack action.

Earth Shaker: As a full-round action, you can slam your hammer into the ground to cause it to quake. You deal your weapon damage in a ten foot cone, and anyone affected must make a reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 character level + str modifier) or be knocked prone. A successful save halves the damage and negates the prone effect. Only creatures touching the ground are affected by this.

Storm From Above: You are able to make heavy overhead strikes, dealing potentially massive damage but being relatively easy to dodge. Whenever you attack with your hammer, you may take a -2 penalty to your attack roll. If you do, the critical threat of your hammer for that attack increases by 1 (so a 20/x3 weapon becomes 19-20/x3). This is calculated after any other increases like Improved Critical, Keen, etc.
