A war chime is too awkward to use in one hand without special training; thus, it is an exotic weapon. A character can use a war chime two-handed as a martial weapon. A war chime is much like a great club, except it's hollow, and metal. Being partly made from adamantine, the weapon ignores 10 points of hardness when dealing damage against an object. Being partly made of mithral, and being mostly hollow, the weapon is a remarkably light implement. Despite it's weight, the weapon is unwieldy in one hand for its size and requires proper training to use one-handed.
