Simple question.

Cromwell says (in the game) that its worth making the Crom Faer Hammer, but as he gets a cool 9000 gp (or whatever) out of it, I'd hardly expect him to say anything else.

On the other hand, if I do go ahead and make the Hammer I take those three items and concentrate them into one item. That means that ONE character is extremely powerful, but two others have their average damage drop by losing the items that they are using -- girdle, gauntlets, hammer of thunderbolts. Also the character who would use it is probably anomen, and as a cleric he doesn;t have the greatest Thaco....

Also concentrating the damage into one character means that if he/she gets stunned, dominated, etc, the party's average damage/round drops dramatically.

So which is best from a damage doing standpoint? Distributed (don't make Crom Faer) or concentrated (make it)?
