Description
These great steel or mithril axes are simple, yet time consuming, to make. Their most common form is that of a great daneaxe wielded by a Varushkan or Wintermark warrior, although they are also popular in some parts of Marches. Woodcutter’s axes are often engraved with Yoorn, the Rune of Ending or Kyrop, the Rune of Weakness.
In Wintermark they are commonly made by Kallavesi crafters. They first select a strong tree for the haft that has been pecked by a only once by woodpecker. That woodpecker must then be caught and killed. It’s bones are ground into a powder and mixed with the molten metal that will become the axe head, it’ skin is used to make soft leather grips, it’s guts the binding and finally the final whetting of the blade is done with the feather.
Sometimes these weapons are carried by warriors whose primary focus is on a different weapon, often a one-handed weapon and shield combination, allowing them additional versatility when facing opponents who themselves have shields.
Rules
- Form: Two-handed Weapon. Despite the name any two-handed weapon may be a woodcutter's axe.
- Effect: Once per day, you may spend a hero point to call SHATTER with this weapon.
- Materials: Crafting a woodcutter's axe requires no special materials. It takes two months to make one of these items.
Would a woodcutter’s woodcutter’s axe cut the wood of a woodcutter’s cut-wood axe or would the woodcutter’s cut-wood axe cut the woodcutter’s woodcutter’s axe wood?
