“Name it afta’ sumn stupid man!”

“Somethin real stupid somethin that when you get all touchy-feely wit’ it you feel a lil’ ashamed for namin it afta sumn stupid, keeps the spirit in it real quiet. But name it afta’ somethin you loves though so it feels ya care. I’ll help ya out with an idea, name it afta sumn to do with that printin press we made.” — Brokkr Odinsbladh

Hellvetica was forged “way back when” passersby still had the chance to grumble about the Odinsbladh brothers and their ragtag back-of-a-brewery forge with all its “ceaseless racket” and “insufferable laughter.” Now, she stands as a solitary reminder of times long past.

Designed by Eitri Odinsbladh, Hellvetica is a cruel mistress. A hefty greataxe adorned with gears, pipes, and even a built-in steam boiler. But nothing about her is as striking as the rune plate and piston embedded in her bit. Engineered to slot various dwarven plates, it drives them into whatever poor sod unlucky enough to find themselves on her bad side with a bone-rattling punch, branding them with whatever potent magicks were stored within that rune.

Magic Properties

You gain a +1 to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

Adaptable. Hellvetica’s damage type is determined by the Rune Plate it currently has inserted.

Words Bear Power. Hellvetica can harness the power of Rune Plates, slabs of dwarven steel embossed with ancient dwarven runes scattered across the realms. Each plate holds latent power that is unleashed on attack rolls of above a 15, with an additional effect on critical hits.
