| + | A '''battle axe''' is an [[attack types|edge]] [[weapon]] that is essentially a heavy, sharp blade mounted at the end of a haft, roughly parallel to it but set somewhat forwards (in elementary mechanical terms it's just a wedge on the end of a lever). Battle axes have the same range of attacks as larger [[great axe]]s, but with reduced contact area and penetration on their "hack" edged attack. | ||
Battle axes use and train the [[Combat skill|axeman]] skill ("Axedwarf" in dwarf mode). Dwarves can [[forge]] battle axes out of any weapon-grade [[metal]], though those with [[material science|superior edge properties]] are more effective. Almost all dwarves can equip battle axes; [[Weapon#Size|some must use two hands]]. | Battle axes use and train the [[Combat skill|axeman]] skill ("Axedwarf" in dwarf mode).
