Headmallet +4

Headmallet was the weapon of Deathcow the Assassin. It is the only weapon in the history of Faerun that can Backwhomp, and it glows bright red with power. Backwhomping is akin to backstabbing, except for the fact that hammers don't stab. There is a 60% chance that the Headmallet will strike an opponent in the head when Backwhomping, stunning them for 2d4 rounds. If your strength is less than 10, there is no chance of stun because you have puny little arms and you hit like a little girl.

Equipped Abilities:
-25% to Hide in Shadows because you're holding a glowing red hammer.
Non-Detection.
Frustration Release once per day. Frustration Release sets attacks per round to 6 and gives +2 to THACO and damage, but gives a penalty of +5AC. This effect lasts for two rounds, and your character is fatigued afterwards.

Combat Abilities:
+4 THACO and crushing damage against opponents not wearing helmets.
When Backwhomping, if the opponent wears glasses, their glasses will be knocked off their head and they will be blinded for 2d3 rounds unless save vs. spell for half duration (if they wear one of those elastic thingies around the back of their head to hold their glasses in place, or if they manage to find their glasses by fumbling around the floor).
