Short Axe

The Short Axe is an axe with ranged capabilities. It is stronger and just a bit heavier than the lower-ranked hand axe; however, the flipside is that it is more inaccurate and less durable. It is analogous to the Short Spear; of interesting note though, is that in Raidiant Dawn, axe-type weapons are generally less accurate than lance-type weapons(this holds for all the other games too), however, the ranged axes are more accurate than the ranged spears' counterparts (and stronger too) in RD. The Short Axe's stats are different between  Path of Radiance and  Radiant Dawn.
