Shovel as Weapon The modern Romanian surplus shovel I have is about 3 lbs, and I'd rate it: Axe -1, takes one turn to change from Axe to Knife grip or vice versa. Damage Reach MinST Notes: Swung to bonk: cr sw +1 1 10 1 turn to ready after swing/parry Swung to cut: cr sw +0 1 10 As above, but wound bleeds (qv) Sharp/swung/cut: cr sw +1 1 10 As above, but wound bleeds (qv) Parry is (Axe-1)/2 Knife -2, takes one turn to change from Axe to Knife grip or vice versa. Thrust cut th +0 C,1 - Thrust, sharp cut th +1 C,1 - Parry is (Knife-2)/2 -1 Throwing, DX-4, ET Throwing (P/E), Knife Throwing -2, or Axe Throwing -2: Damage: SS: Acc: 1/2D: Max: MinST Above, as appropriate. 13 0 ST/2 STx1.5 10 Treat as average quality (not like a mace) for breaking purposes - the top end is all (cheap) metal (DR4 HT2(as shovel)/4(as weapon), Axe/Hammer/Club only) and the wood handle is decent (DR3 HT8). -5 to hit the wood and not the metal, -4 to hit either (50/50).
