Throwing axe
Equipment, Weapon
A light axe balanced for hurling.
Also called Axe, Throwing
From the book
A small 2 lb. axe meant for throwing, found in the missile weapons price list at 5 S.P. It deals 1-6 damage and asks for a Strength of 8.
All hand-thrown weapons share one range rule: effective range is 5 ft. per point of the thrower's Strength, and long range stretches to 10 ft. per point. Throws at long range suffer the non-proficiency penalty (the roll plus modifiers halved), and the penalty can apply twice if the target is also taking evasive action. Each +1 of enchantment on a magical missile weapon adds 10% to its range.
