“Hyfæce” (Hive Cleaver in the ancient tongue) is a massive axe-like weapon that resembles a common hive tool used by apiarists but is scaled up to enormous proportions. It’s forged to serve as both a weapon and a utility tool, making it a versatile piece of equipment in the hands of a skilled and suitably strong apiarist-warrior.

Properties. Hyfæce functions as a great axe for damage purposes. It has a magical bonus on attacks. When it hits, the target must resist the chance of Hyfæce inflicting bee toxin damage or even leaving the target poisoned.

Special Feature: Hook. The hooked end of Hyfæce can be used to trip an opponent and knock them prone.

Special Feature: Buzzing Strike. If you score a critical hit with Hyfæce, the weapon emits a faint buzzing sound. The target must resist the effect or become distracted by the noise. A distracted creature is at a disadvantage on its next attack.
