Didn't say more deadly than a combat axe. I said that it would be
deadly, though. I mean, if THROWING knives have a damage code of STR, I
think that with the momentum of the swing, an axe would have a bit
better than Str-1 as a damage code. I think also that the combat axe,
Teeg, is undercoded. I could see a combat axe being a bit harder to hit
someone with, but doing at least Str+2.
