==Greataxe==
You are now a master of two-handed axe weapons, and you will notice a drastic improvement while using them. See [[Knighthood]]'s slashing and targetting abilities for information on how to use two-handed axe weapons.
==LacerateArm==
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Arm<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Negligible<br/>
Maneuver: Jab or swing, two-handed axe
|-
|}
Lacerating a major artery in the arm induces very major bleeding.
==LacerateLeg==
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Leg<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Negligible<br/>
Maneuver: Jab or swing, two-handed axe
|-
|}
Lacerating a major artery in the leg induces very major bleeding.
==Maneuvers==
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>MANEUVER CREATE <name></tt><br/>
<tt>MANEUVER LIST</tt><br/>
<tt>MANEUVER DROP <name></tt><br/>
<tt>MANEUVER DEVELOP ACTION <maneuver> <attack></tt><br/>
<tt>MANEUVER DEVELOP WOUNDS <maneuver> <wound list, up to fifteen></tt><br/>
<tt>MANEUVER SHOW <maneuver></tt><br/>
<tt>MANEUVER PERFORM <maneuver> <inputs to maneuver's attack></tt>
|-
|}
You are now able to develop your own fighting maneuvers. You start with being able to develop a limited amount of maneuvers and gradually increase the number of maneuvers as your training in Combat and Knighthood specializations increase. Each maneuver consists of two variables: the action and the wounds. The action is the attack verb (slash, smash, strike, etc.) that will be executed during the maneuver. The wounds are a list of the specific wounds you are attempting to inflict. (Please note that it does not determine if you are able to execute the action or inflict the wound until you perform the maneuver.)
When you perform a maneuver, you will focus all your mental attention on the wounds specified in the maneuver. This has two benefits. First, you will only inflict wounds from that list. So if you want to always inflict a lower level wound even if the target body part is in critical condition then a maneuver consisting only of that lower level wound will do just that. Secondly, provided your wound list is small, you will be able to concentrate more than normal on perfectly executing the attack. This increases your chance of executing that wound. Thus if you use a maneuver that consists only of a critical level wound, you lose the ability to do the lower level wounds, but in exchange you increase the likelihood of successfully making that critical wound happen.
==SliceForehead==
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Head<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Negligible<br/>
Maneuver: Swing, two-handed axe
|-
|}
Deeply slicing into the forehead not only causes major bleeding but will hinder an opponent's ability to hit you due to the flow of blood into the eyes.
==FractureArm==
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Arm<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Medium<br/>
Maneuver: Swing, two-handed axe
|-
|}
Fracture the arms, slowing the balance on that arm.
==SnapRib==
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Chest<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Light<br/>
Maneuver: Jab or swing, two-handed axe
|-
|}
Snapping the rib of a foe will cause some internal bleeding when he engages in physical activity (consumes balance). The sharp pain will also cause him to take longer to focus on mental skills (consumes equilibrium).
==RingingEar==
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Head<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Light<br/>
Maneuver: Swing or jab, two-handed axe
|-
|}
Inducing a ringing in the ears can cause a brief stun in addition to a random disorientation, such as dizziness or confusion.
==Cleave==
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>CLEAVE <target> <body part></tt>
|-
|}
This maneuver will allow you to cleave smoothly through defences such as shields and jab the blade of your great axe into your foe, all in one movement.
==OpenGut==
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Gut<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Light<br/>
Maneuver: Jab or swing, two-handed axe
|-
|}
One of the surest ways to hinder an opponent is to slice open their gut. The bleeding from this wound may cause them to slip in their own blood.
==OpenChest==
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Chest<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Medium<br/>
Maneuver: Swing, two-handed axe
|-
|}
This maneuver will hack open the chest of your foe, causing them to bleed directly from their chest cavity. This is not only messy, but the resulting strain on your opponent's heart will also force them to move more slowly.
==KnockDown==

When someone parries one of your attacks, the force behind your massive axe may send massive vibrations through their parrying weapon that will last for a short time.

Possibly the most powerful of all axelord maneuvers, this special strike may kill the opponent instantly. You will strike at the head, chest, or gut. If all three of these regions have heavy wounds and one of them has critical wounds then you will chop the body in half. The strike also will ignore many defenses, such as combat stances, shields, etc.
