Orc dreadaxes are two-handed axes with a blade even larger than a greataxe.

Orcish

Orcs may treat the orc dreadaxe as a martial weapon.

Slow Recovery

The dreadaxe's balance is so forward-heavy that it is difficult to ready after a swing, and impossible to parry with. The wielder of a dreadaxe suffers a -1 penalty to AC. Due to the size and weight the weapon is slower to swing and therefore easier to dodge. The wielder suffers -1 penalty to attack.

Crude

Orcish steel is a low carbon alloy, barely better than iron. The dreadaxe has a -1 penalty on damage rolls.

Intimidating

A masterwork dreadaxe is usually adorned with terrifying motifs and spikes that enhance its already brutish design. This grants a +2 bonus to intimidate checks
