+ | A '''great axe''' is an [[attack types|edged]] [[weapon]] that is essentially a larger [[battle axe]]. Great axes are more than 50% larger than standard battle axes, though their attacks remain the same. A great axe's blade has a 50% larger contact area and 33% greater penetration, for even more limb-severing fun. | ||
− | [[ | + | Great axes use and train the [[Axedwarf]] skill. As foreign weapons dwarves cannot [[forge]] great axes, limiting supply to whatever low-[[quality]] specimens can be traded from human [[caravan]]s and scavenged from invaders. |
− | + | Due to the size of great axes, most dwarves are unable to equip them. With height and broadness modifiers, some dwarves ''should'' be able to use a great axe, and a select few might manage to do so one-handed. Unfortunately, due to a [[#Bugs|bug]], great axes cannot currently be equipped by any dwarves. | |
