Weapon (maul), rare
Siegebreaker is a massive bronze and oak maul that can only be lifted by the most formidable warriors. This magical weapon deals an extra 1d6 bludgeoning damage to objects and structures. You can roll two additional weapon damage dice when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with the maul against an object or structure (for a total of eight damage dice).
Bod Grogmaw, the Door Destroyer, was a mighty warrior indeed. In his massive hands he wielded an even massiver weapon: Siegebreaker. No locked door could withstand even a single blow from this brutal maul. Bod smashed down so many gates, portcullises, ramparts and barricades along his warpath that entire castle garrisons would abandon their posts when they saw him coming. Of course, he would pulverize their castle to bits anyway, just to prove he could. Nothing could stop him, and this made him sad. As it turns out, all the while Bod was tearing walls down, he was putting up walls of his own around his heart. You see, nobody wants to be friends with a man who will destroy your home for sport. So all the newly houseless lords and layfolk staged an intervention, “Bod! You have proven your might before man, before god! We’re all good and impressed, but we’d like roofs over our heads, to stay dry while we get dressed. Now be a good lad, and lay down your maul! So we can stop this destruction, for once and for all!” He took their plea to heart, though it was weird that they rhymed, and agreed it was time to give it a rest. As a final ceremonial gesture, they had the local doorsmith craft the strongest door of all. Bod shed a single tear, as he smashed it to bits, for he knew his smashing days were finally over. But the friendship he gained that day, was the key he had been looking for all along.
Errata- Dealing "double damage" against objects and structures was replaced with an extra 1d6, extra critical hit damage has been reworded for clarity.
