A '''battle-axe''' is a one-handed cutting [[Draft:Weapon|weapon]]. It has exactly the ordinary mace's hit, damage and weight, but a different attack type and a higher base value. It is distinct from the two-handed [[Draft:Great-axe|great-axe]].<ref>{{Source|iinit.h|196|200}}; {{Source|item.c|536|552}}.</ref><br />

__TOC__<br />
<br />
== Generation ==<br />
[[Draft:Julie's Armor of Proof and Weapons of Quality|Julie's]] sells the battle-axe fully identified, uncursed and +0 for '''200 Au'''. It also appears through random treasure, [[Draft:Knight's Pawn Shop|pawn-shop stock]] and [[Draft:Scroll of acquirement|acquirement]]. Its item level 2 affects random acceptance, while the shop's fixed stock has no character-level requirement.<ref>{{Source|site1.c|164|231}}; {{Source|aux2.c|522|535}}; {{Source|item.c|7|41}}; {{Source|site1.c|1022|1053}}; {{Source|effect1.c|647|728}}.</ref><br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
The normal selected attack is a cut with the Strength damage bonus. Cutting and striking share that bonus, so the battle-axe's type alone does not make it deal more combat damage than an equally enchanted mace. It can also lunge. Changing to the axe leaves the previously saved [[Draft:Melee attacks|maneuver sequence]] in place.<ref>{{Source|command3.c|597|713}}; {{Source|aux2.c|636|725}}; {{Source|aux1.c|315|328}}.</ref><br />
<br />
The axe deals normal physical damage. It can be thrown and recovered under ordinary throwing rules, but a spare axe's printed 12 damage is not directly used as a separate projectile damage rating. It can tunnel through suitable walls; unlike a mace, its cutting type can trigger equipment damage during a tunneling mishap.<ref>{{Source|itemf2.c|359|365}}; {{Source|command3.c|223|310}}; {{Source|command3.c|865|933}}.</ref><br />
<br />
== Strategy ==<br />
A plain [[Draft:Mace|mace]] costs only 100 Au and matches the battle-axe's damage 12, hit +8 and weight 50. Both normal attack choices receive the same Strength damage bonus, while the mace is safer for tunneling. The battle-axe's higher value is not evidence of a hidden combat advantage.<ref>{{Source|iinit.h|196|200}}; {{Source|aux2.c|522|535}}.</ref><br />
<br />
A [[Draft:Broad sword|broad sword]] is another strong shop alternative: 180 Au buys the same damage, one more point of accuracy and ten less weight. Prefer a battle-axe when its actual enchantment, availability or acquisition cost makes it better than those alternatives. A free, identified enchanted axe can be an excellent main weapon even when the unenchanted shop comparison favors something else.<br />
<br />
Before a damage-focused upgrade, compare the great-axe's higher burden and two-hand requirement as well as its 24 damage rating. The battle-axe preserves the ready hand and is half its weight; giving up those advantages is a practical choice, not an automatic progression.<ref>{{Source|iinit.h|178}}; {{Source|iinit.h|196|198}}; {{Source|item.c|536|552}}.</ref><br />
