A Balancing Weight can be used on a Hafted weapon such as a Club, Axe or Mace. The weapon will remain balanced for One (1) Hour regardless if it is used or not

Once balanced, for the next hour the weapon will gain a plus Four (+4) Damage bonus. This bonus can be used to exceed a weapon’s maximum damage cap by the amount of the bonus from the stone. (i.e. A club could potentially do 24 points of damage rather than be limited to 20 points)

A Gold colored band, usually of vinyl tape, is wrapped around the base of the hafted weapon to represent it has been balanced.

Only one Balancing Weight can be used at a time.

The Balancing takes one (1) minute to apply.

Special Note: A Balancing Weight and a Sharpening Stone can be combined on a Cleaving weapon such as a Battle Axe.
