Chingachgook's Weapon

[pbd]

If I remember the movie, this was primarily a one handed weapon, but could be wielded 2 hands. From the pictures (search gunstock club on google images) the axe blade is very narrow and pointed, almost pick like. I would give it 1d8 piercing or bludgeoning damage with 20/x3 critical and can be wielded either one or two handed. I would call it martial profiniency too; it may be unusual, but it is essentially a club and axe/pick in one, neither of which is an exotic weapon.

Nearly any weapon can be used to trip or disarm. That was one of the more common uses for a fighting hand axe, but the hand axe doesn't receive any additional bonuses for those maneuvers.

Game mechanic-wise, it would require some exceptionally specialized design to provide the bonus.

I disagree.

Here's a version that I came up with...

Nice, quite nasty that.

Whatever you settle on, don't forget that it can be thrown with lethal effectiveness.

Great movie, and Chingachgook's weapon is one of my favorite aspects of it -- just thinking about it makes me want to watch it!
