Are dwarves proficient with "hammer, light?"

[Ch3rnobyl]

Dwarves are naturally proficient with warhammers. Does this proficiency extend to light hammers?

Thanks in advance.

They are not. The battleaxe, heavy pick, and warhammer are specific names of weapons in the weapon table.

My books are packed up and I'm using my phone to post so I don't feel like looking it up so I'll ask if it says that they are proficient with hammers or warhammers. If it says hammers, then yes. If it specifically says warhammer, then no.

What ReddogMT said.

However, given dwarves' closeness to smithing, I don't think it would be unreasonable to houserule light hammers into dwarven racial weapon proficiency.
