Hammer/Quarterstaff Question

in General Discussion (Spoiler Warning!)
So I was wondering if there were any throwing hammers, besides the Dwarven Thrower, that have a +1 or more enchantment to it and if a Fighter/Cleric can use them.
My other question was about the Staff Mace. Can a Stalker backstab with the staff mace? If so will a Stalker/Cleric be able to backstab with said weapon?
Thanks

    I don't think there is another hammer.

    You can backstab with staff mace and in EE with any quarterstaff (Staff of the Ram is a favourite). Doesn't make sense IMHO but it works :)

    There is a throwing hammer called "The Brick" available via Neera's quest. I think it's +2, returns to the thrower, but causes a 10% of a wild surge on any spells cast nearby.

    Nice. Too bad about the hammer but at least my stalker/cleric will be able to backstab without too much micromanaging

    If a specific melee weapon is usable by a single class thief then it can be used for backstab.

    @Tresset Are you sure? I haven't been able to backstab with clubs! Didn't investigate in detail but tried 2-3 times unsuccessfully.

    @Skaffen I am sure. Just made a stalker and backstabbed a gibberling with the Gnasher. Usability by single class thieves is what determines a weapon's eligibility for backstab. So even if a specific weapon is of a type typically usable by thieves, if they can't use it then no one can backstab with it. Such as with the Staff of the Magi; a quarterstaff is typically usable by thieves but this one is not so it cannot be used for backstab (even if you have Use Any Item).
