Greataxe

A greataxe stands at the top of the standard strength-based weapons in this catalog. In Elaria, it may be a masterwork, a family heirloom, or an experienced protector's equipment. A compelling story can explore how its owner earned it and to whom they promised to use it in defense. Its great power does not mean its wielder must be aggressive.

Its strength requirement limits it to characters who actually meet the listed minimum. It requires both hands, and its higher price may affect preparations for the entire expedition. It does not automatically strike two targets or apply an additional special effect. A hero should consider whether a high attack bonus helps more than another combination of weapons and protection.

Attacks use Strength (STR). The 2H designation means it uses both hands. The minimum is STR10, and its catalog physical attack bonus (PATK) is +6. The price is 8 gp. A hero's total attack is then calculated from attributes and the applicable rules; the listed weapon bonus is not the entire final attack.
