Defender Greataxe

Defender Greataxe is a rare greataxe that can be reduced in its enchantment on the first attack of the round to increase wielder's  Armour Class and Saving throw bonus.

The power of this axe lies in a fluctuating arcane enchantment that flows between the beard and the edge of the axe, and the wielder themselves.

Notes

• In earlier versions of the game activating the Defensive Attack effect on a critical miss would cause a bug that changed the natural one into a natural 20, causing a critical hit. This was fixed in a patch.
