Axe (All periods)

The axe is not as common in cymric culture as it is in other cultures, but it is used. Especially amongst commoners.

Abilities:

The axe is a one-handed weapon that may be single- or double-edged. A battle axe easily shatters or splits open shields.

1. Combatants successfully defending themselves with a shield (I.e receiving the armour protection granted by it) against an axe get 1d6 protection from it, not the usual 6 points.
2. A natural 6 on the above roll, indicates that the shield loses one point of durability.
3. Combatants successfully defending themselves with a shield (I.e receiving the armour protection granted by it) against a critical success automatically loses one durability on that shield.

Disadvantages:

1. A fumble indicates that the spear is broken.
