📋 About This Mod
To celebrate the release of Heretic + Hexen I decided to make the fighters hammer in Morrowind, the Hammer of Retribution. It's a thrown hammer that respawns and re-equips itself after you throw it, and does a small fire explosion on hit. I
The Hammer of Retribution, Baratus' hammer from the game Hexen. Made in the OpenMW CS so it may not work for other versions of Morrowind besides OpenMW and TES3MP
With v1. 1 I added an enchantment to the ring and renamed it the Icon of the Defender as well as adding 3 scrolls of Mystic Ambit Incant. Both are items from Hexen, and I did my best to emulate their effects from it. I chose to combine the different effects to each character which makes them pretty strong but made them limited for that reason.
East of Molag Mar in the daedric shrine, Almurbalarammi, you'll find the "Icon of the Defender" ring in one of the chests, just watch out for traps. When equipped this ring will spawn the Hammer of Retribution in your hand, and every time you throw the hammer another will immediately reappear in your hand. To end this affect just unequip the ring. This hammer is pretty strong and is an unlimited "ammo" thrown weapon, so more for fun than balance, but didn't feel game breaking to me.
