I've looked, and not found an answer. Someone here will point out the obvious references I missed, I'm sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

1) I'm building a troll PC (in SR4 but the issue applies in general I think) who is kind of 'Viking' minded in an abstract, not too historically accurate way. I would like him to use a weapon like an axe or a hammer one-handed. I can't find such a weapon. There is a mace, and a combat axe which is described as two-handed. I suppose one could just call a hammer a mace, but that requires a GM's fiat. Also, it may be possible for a troll to operate a combat axe one handed, but GM fiat again.

Does some source have this described?

2) Is it described anywhere that a troll can use a ballistic shield one-handedly?

3) Axes can be thrown. It's a whole sport nowadays. If a one-handed axe exists in the game, what would the combat stats be for throwing it? How about a hammer? (Yeah, yeah. Thor references abound. Sure, tie a hammer to a boomerang. ) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sarcastic.gif)

EDIT: As soon as I said out loud I can't find something, the section in Arsenal about two-handed weapons used by trolls appeared in front of me. *sigh*
