Throwing Axe

Throwing axes are axes that are mainly used for ranged combat, but also can be "switched" to melee – with less damage, however, than a pure battle axe. They add to a character's encumbrance when stacked, as they are axes and not ammunition. This can also be wielded as a one-handed weapon, so it can be used in combination with a shield or second one-handed weapon. However, throwing axes cannot be equipped in the off-hand. As they are axes, proficiency in axes helps hit rate and damage.
==Locations==
This weapon is seldom used by opponents – stores are a more reliable source as are containers in places where troops have setup camp; they're sold at most weapon stores in all campaigns.

==Notes==
*Throwing axes do not break, despite the iron crisis.
*It is more profitable to split stacks of throwing axes and selling them one by one since they always sell for at least each. Due to their low initial price, it may also be profitable to buy them from merchants, split the stack and sell them again for a higher sum. However, the time involved doing this might be better spent on hacking up opponents.
