Adze

The adze shows up only on the weapon damage chart, never in the price lists. It weighs roughly 5 lb., deals 1-8 points of damage on a hit, and its wielder needs a Strength of at least 10 to use it properly.

Like any weapon it follows the general combat rules: a fighter who has not learned it halves the attack roll and modifiers, and the damage of each hit is reduced by the armor the target wears. Spell casters are free to use it if they are physically able to handle it.
