Not SPECIFICALLY Dwarven, but let's get some new axe templates in the new forging system. As far as I know, the only forgable ax is a battle axe. I'd like to see forged light edged, medium edged, and two handed axes, as well as forged throwing and hurling axes. Also, with the significant difference balance makes on a weapon, is it too much to ask for an axe that isn't dismally balanced? Why would a throwing axe be so much more horribly balanced than a throwing hammer? It's almost as if the idea is to intentionally punish anyone who chooses to use nothing but axes.

Also, regarding beards... I've heard that the reason beards come unbraided has to do with growth cycles. Even after the beard reaches maximum length, it has growth pulses, which cause it to be unbraided. Is that necessary? Fancy beard ornamentation would be nice, but I'd settle for just being able to have it stay braided, like hair does.

A wider variety of axes will almost certainly show up in the forging system. The issues of balance however are not specific to axes alone and are better addressed within the combat system I feel.

Just want to say that this group database that Worrclan started is awesome and I would encourage all Dwarves to join up.
