Axe of Hurling appears to be a normal hand axe.
With
familiarity and
practice,
however, the possessor will eventually discover that the axe
can
be hurled up to 6” distance, and it will return to the thrower in the
same
round whether or not it scores a hit. Damage inflicted by the
magical
throwing attack is twice normal (2-12 vs. S or M, 2-8 vs. L),
with
the weapon’s magic bonus added thereafter; for instance, an axe
of
hurling + 3 will do 5-15 points of damage vs. S or M sized creatures
and
5-11 points of damage vs. creatures of size L if it hits the target after
being
thrown. The same axe will do only normal damage (plus its
magic
bonus) when used as a hand-held weapon. After each week of
using
the weapon, the possessor has a 12 1/2% chance of discovering
the
full properties of the weapon (roll of 1 on d8). In any event, the
magical
properties of the weapon will be fully known to the possessor
after
8 full weeks of such familiarization.
