If it was lightning... hey, I could understand. Lightning has an explosion of superheated air around it. That'd do some damage even if you missed.
But this is an axe. And with an axe you either connect or you don't. Because even if this guy is fighting against something WAY out of his league, like a guy that has shingles of adamantium for armor across his entire body and a forcefield to boot... he'll still take damage.
I don't care how aggressive your fighting style is, it wouldn't let you cleave through a guy wearing adamantium armor... even when you miss.
Which is the key here... HE NEVER EVER ACTUALLY MISSES. All of his attacks land according to this ability. He is guarenteed a minimum of x damage per round, so long as he swings. Is he swinging at a bird in a tree? Strength Damage. Is he swinging at a brick wall and STILL missed the brick wall? Well it just shattered.
Sorry, they can do bette rthan this weak ass ability. It breaks disbelief.

Nice. I'd XP you if I could...That's why when I see rules in a book that I don't like... I disbelieve they are there and just don't use them.
