This skill allows for the use of cleaving weapons such as axes, which have no longer than a 42” haft length.

Examples of cleaving weapons would be a hand axe, battle axe, hatchet and even a sickle.

Any weapon used must meet the safety standards of Mythic Adventures, and pass a safety check each and every event, before it may be used.

Cleaving One Handed Weapons skill may be coupled with the Weapon Damage skill so that the user may call additional damage when using his/her cleaving weapon. Any additional damage would apply to only the primary hand of the user, unless otherwise specified.

The Backstab Damage skill also can be applied to this skill for additional damage when used properly. As differing weapons have various potentials when coupled with the Backstab Damage skill please refer to the chart on weapon damage caps for the maximum potential for the weapon used.

Knowledge of how to wield a cleaving weapon is required to activate any magical effects that the weapon may have.

Some races may gain a bonus with cleaving one handed weapons; such as Dwarves with Battle Axes.
