I find it a bit silly that light hammers (as in those things you hammer nails into walls with) are martial weapons, what is worse is that so many things useful to rogues (like Bilby's Workshop Hammers) are light hammers. They aren't complex weapons, but unfortunately many rogues can't even equip these unless they multiclass (and ruin their chances at ever getting some of the best rogue abilities) or take the feat (which to be honest is ridiculous, taking a feat to use a hammer).

If possible, I would like the Light Hammer made into a simple weapon, though I doubt it's possible. Otherwise, could we get some of these things changed into clubs or maces or something?

I'll second that.  It seems silly that the hammer would not be usable given that it's supposed to be a TOOL, not a weapon.  Change it to zero damage or something, assuming it would be possible to change its weapon type to simple.

Agree, but I think this stuff is all hardcoded into the engine.

Just make a fighter/rogue build. Don't forget to minmax!

Actually, this might be simple to do with an override.

And isn't the symbol for Simple Weapon Proficiency... a hammer?

If it's simple to do, awesome...

As for the symbol... I have just one thing to say... lol

Oh, but if you do change it, could you make sure that hammers are rogue weapons as well (rogues don't get simple weapon proficiency)? It's not like it would be overpowering, as if a rogue really wanted to take it to the max, they'd just use handaxes, lol
