I have a battle axe that I plan to alter. I've got a show all worked out (under 500 chars), but the the short 15/15/15 description is giving me fits. I bought an old coffin-wood shield to make the haft from, but "coffin-wood-hafted" is both cumbersome due to all the hyphens, and also exceeds 15 chars. "Coffinwood-hafted" also exceeds 15 chars. I'm also opting for "executioner's axe", which also exceeds 15 chars. My preference is "headsman's axe" which I've gotten a couple of times in the past. Though it isn't one of the approved nouns for a battle axe, it is under 15 chars. I'd like to have a size/condition descriptor in the first 15, the haft in the next 15, and the noun in the last 15. If the 15/15/15 rule is hard and fast, is there any way to get what I'm wanting? Thanks.
The 15/15/15 rule is just that, a rule. It cannot, in fact, be broken. The fields that store the article, adjective, and noun are each exactly 15 characters in length. You can typically use a long description to overcome the rule, but since you're planning on a show description, that option is out.
Also, as a note, it will be unlikely that you will be able to have the haft made out of "coffin wood", as that isn't any actual type of wood and a coffin could be made out of any kind of wood.
