Having learned about the weight-reduced throwing axes available at the Delving, and about the fact that throwing axes are mighty (can't tell by their description), as well as the fact that you can wield them together with a shield, this is no longer an issue to me. Thanks for the feedback everyone, I withdraw my suggestion.

My character's portrait can be downloaded here.  As many of you can probably tell, it's based on art from Skyrim. The  only alteration is that the horns on his helmet have been removed, making him look more like an authentic viking.

It suits my character very well, being a shield-wielding Uthgardt barbarian. You can't make out much of the face, but that's how I prefer it, because it leaves the details to the imagination.

I'd like to propose increasing the usefulness of throwing axes. Consider these points:

• 99 arrows or bolts weigh 1 unit in total, while 99 throwing axes  weigh a full 99 units, making them highly unfeasible to any but the  strongest of characters.

• There's very little incentive for even the strongest of characters  to use throwing axes, not only due to precious carrying capacity but due to how weak they are compared to bows and  crossbows. Throwing axes only cause 1d6 damage and a critical threat of x2.

• I've never come across any enchanted throwing axes, nor any characters who's used throwing axes in general. I'm new to the server, though.

Throwing axes suit my character very well, but I feel as though I need to make huge sacrifices in order to use something which doesn't measure up to the other alternatives at all.

In any case, on a personal level, I'd rather take an arrow in the knee than a throwing axe.
