We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Double Axe and Half-orcs

Post by Twohand »

Since Dwarves can now use Dwarven Waraxes without the Exotic feat, shouldn't Half-orcs also be able to use Double Axes without that same feat?

This is the Double Axe in-game description:

"Whatever can be said of the orc race, there is no doubting the impact they have on warfare. The orc double axe is a perfect example, patterned after their "One blade good, two blades better!" wisdom."

If this is already the case, please, send this thread to limbo :D

In a sense, half-orcs already get a free feat towards using this weapon. You shouldn't use a Double Axe without Ambidexterity, and half-orcs get that for free.

Giving them essentially two free feats towards their weapon of choice would be a little too much.
