A fearsome weapon covered in dried blood and crude engravings of torture and death, bearing an enormous axehead.
This weapon falls into the Axes category. It is a two handed weapon, and it is best used by the strong.

The executioner's axe is a massive two-handed weapon, one of the most powerful melee options in the game for medium-sized characters. It deals extremely high amounts of damage, particularly when given a solid brand like freezing or holy wrath, but has such slow attack speed that only extremely skilled fighters can expect to use it effectively. An excellent choice for the extended game, executioner's axes are unfortunately very uncommon.

Like all axes, this weapon allows the player to cleave.
