Accuracy +3
Base delay (%) 13 (130%)
Min delay 6 at skill 14
Hands 1H
Size Small
Ranged? Throwable
"Throwable" is not recognized as a Boolean (true/false) value.
A tool for rending apart the fibres of wood, or flesh. Small and crafted for fast, precise handling, it is also balanced such that it can be thrown if necessary.

"'God speed the kiss,' said Max, and Katie sigh'd,
With pray'rful palms close seal'd, 'God speed the axe!'"

-Isabella Valencey Crawford, "Malcolm's Katie: A Love Story", Part I, _Old Spookses' Pass, Malcolm's Katie and Other Poems_. 1884.

This weapon falls into the 'Axes' category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is better for the strong.

It can be thrown at enemies.

The hand axe is fairly powerful for a starting weapon, and can do enough damage when thrown to be worth the effort early on. Still, try to find a bigger axe as soon as possible.

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