I've been experimenting with forged hand axes, trying to see how well they do at higher weights. My FF for ME is only around 210, also non-barbarian so I cannot grind em.
Anyone care to try and make a hand axe over 50 stones and see how they turn out? A density of 7 or more should do the trick. The ingot I used on this was pretty random. I think I even threw in a large silver bar! It came out the same (with better construction) than the 60+ stone hand axe made from a 70 stone battle axe ingot (7.8 density)
Im really interested in seeing the slice and impact from a well forged one, as well as how suited it can be ground to.
Here was mine. 57 stones, unground.
A hand axe is a medium edged melee-ranged weapon.
You are certain that it could do:
low puncture damage
moderate slice damage
fair impact damage
You are certain that the axe is dismally balanced and is reasonably suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.
You are certain that the hand axe is of average strength, and is in pristine condition.
The hand axe is made with metal.
You are certain that the hand axe weighs about 56 stones.
You are certain that the hand axe is worth exactly 300 lirums.
