    [​IMG] I Found the axe that Jorill carries. But isn't there something wrong here... ?
    I read the description and it says: Gives 1d12+4 in damage. Isn't this a mistake. I have never heard of a 1-handed axe that could deliver a blow like that.

    I don't use it in my party any longer, I was just wondering....

    Hey you guys are still playing this great game, right..?

    Joril's Axe is a 2-handed weapon, IIRC. That is why it can deliver such damage.

    hmm

    This mighty weapon consists of a five to six-foot haft with a heavy blade. The axe is double-bitted, with blades on both sides of the haft. It is an unwieldy weapon, but a skilled warrior can strike blows of tremendous strength with it.

    Joril Frostbeard, the frost giant leader, wielded this axe. The weapon has been enchanted with several beneficial magics.

    According to dale keeper its only +3 and two handed, there is a one handed axe that does 1d12+4 damage, but that is called axe of the Minotaur lord and is from TotL.

    And of cause we still plays this great game :D and it's good to see yet another Dane on this board

    Mmmm.... Got TotL a few weeks ago and haven't had the chance to try it. If you can get ubber weapons like that nice little axe, I might consider playing IWD again with all the expansions...

    Equester. You are right. I found it in TotL and it was called axe of the Minotaur lord. Sorry. Yes, that's a really cool one-handed axe. * Wondering if it's supposed to be one-handed *
