So 2 feat investment for a 1/combat pretty cool effect. I guess you have to decide if the encounter power itself is worth it as well. I'm sure the CB would register the hand axes, but I doubt it would apply the tempest fighter dmg bonus. If it has, it's an error. And certainly at range, it shouldn't be adding the bonus. But is the DM pretty chilled out about things? I mean, seriously, hand axes are inferior to short swords. So your wife is kind of taking an inferior option in order to fit an idea she has in her head. Which is cool. Maybe your  DM could let you refluff hand axes into a lighter butchers cleaver version. Same stats but counts as light blades. Or refluff short swords to look like axes, even better. Is your wife really set on being a ranged character that uses axes or would you like some suggestions as to other 'support characters' that have some nifty features and synergies. Check out a Runepriest Fighter. Longtooth shifter would be perfect for that combo. And they are great defenders, very decent leaders (not so much as healers, but definitely in so far as give your team boost. The AC is decent as you get Scale Armour without having to spend any feats at all, and the use of a shield! That is a serious bonus! Plus the higher your wisdom the harder you hit when they miss you. Your mark is decent as you get combat challenge free, so still no shifting away from you. They are probably good to go for the use of a polearm, hafted defense, polearm flanker and at lvl 11 they become pure win with polearm gambit.  And the Runepriests at wills is one of the best of any leader: dish out vulnerability or damage reduction as the case may be. If you'd like a look I'll post a build.</blockquote>
