 If you haven't found one, don't fret. A [[broad axe]] or [[battleaxe]] are still good weapons; both are capable of winning the game.

-The '''executioner's axe''' is a massive two-handed weapon, one of the most powerful melee options in the game for medium-[[size]]d characters. However, they are extremely uncommon, and require near-mastery of the [[Axes]] skill to reach min delay. As such, many players will have an easier time using a solid [[battleaxe]] or [[broad axe]] for much of the game, investing the extra experience elsewhere (though [[minotaur]] and [[hill orc]] characters have Axes aptitudes that make the necessary training somewhat easier).
+The '''executioner's axe''' is a massive two-handed weapon. It is the strongest axe, and one of the strongest weapons in the game. Unfortunately, they are quite rare, and take a high amount of skill to reach mindelay.
-Due to their high base damage and slow attack speed, they are especially powerful when matched with brands such as [[speed]], [[freezing]], or [[holy wrath]]. Although normally very rare, they occasionally generate in [[Pandemonium]] in the hands of [[list of demonspawn|demonspawn]] opponents, and the unique [[executioner]] [[Ignacio]] always generates with a well-enchanted executioner's axe of [[pain (brand)|pain]].
+Like all axes, this weapon allows the player to [[cleave]].
