Tomahawk

Version 0.14: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Name	Tomahawk
Launcher	Throwing
Base damage	6

An axe-like item designed for throwing. While some larger tomahawk types would be fit for melee, this one sacrifices melee ability to make it smaller, handier and to optimize its ballistic properties.

Tomahawks are a new form of Throwing weapon, directly between darts and javelins in terms of power.

Tomahawks can have the following brands:

• Poisoned
• Silver
• Steel
• Returning

Common	Silver	Steel

History

Tomahawks will be added in 0.14, compensating for the fact that smaller melee weapons (such as hand axes and spears) will no longer be throwable. Smaller species whose backgrounds would normally start with javelins (such as Hunters) will instead have the option of starting with tomahawks.
