The hafted war axe has a square chopping axe blade on one side and a sturdy beak on the other, enabling the wielder to choose between slashing and piercing damage with each swing. In addition, the beak is sturdy enough to use as a pry bar, granting the wielder a bonus when making sunder attempts. Last, the hafted war axe uses an overlong handle made of lightweight, magically-treated wood. With a swift action, the wielder may shift his grip to use the weapon as if it has a reach of ten feet, and while being used this way the hafted war axe threatens squares ten feet away but does not threaten adjacent squares. The wielder may return to the regular (non-reach) grip with another swift action. The hafted war axe belongs to the "Axe", "Blades, Heavy" and "Polearms" weapon groups. |
