Comeback Handaxe is an uncommon, lightly enchanted (+1) variant of the Handaxes family of weapons. It is a simple melee weapon wielded in one hand. It's a light weapon that anyone can dual-wield without special training. Its design lends itself well to be thrown at enemies as a projectile.

This loyal axe always returns to its owner after being thrown. However, it has no eyes and therefore dreadful aim, inevitably returning to its thrower blade-end-first.

Where to find

Notes

  • True to its name, the axe has a hidden Homing Weapon feature but also hits the thrower on its way back, dealing only the base 1d6+1 damage.
  • Arguably more useful than it appears at first glance, unlike other homing weapons, this axe does not equip itself after being Thrown Thrown, instead returning to inventory. It also does not suffer from the combat initiation bug, making it a solid candidate for Tavern Brawlers to start fights with if not already in turn-based combat mode.
