The Crom Faeyer is a very powerful weapon. It maxes out a characters STR to 25, adds 5 lightning damage, and kills trolls, ettins, flesh, clay, and stone golems, on a single hit. Unless you have a fighter in your party don't bother creating it. If you're worried that it's going to decrease your parties effectiveness just forget it. But if you do have a fighter in your party, give them at least a mastery in hammers, and max them out in two weapon style. In TOB you'd be surprised how effective the Crom Faeyer, and Rune Hammer +5 (A new hammer.) are when combined.
