two short questions on magic items

For those who would download the Magic Item Reference v2.5 (cough cough) at:

When using the Axes together you get +5 Str, +2 MR, Cause Fear (+5).

Each axe has 2 attacks, on hit armloss (Cause Affliction: Lost an Arm).

Thank you.

Now that you mention it, can someone explain how the (+X) Ratings in things such as Fear (+4) or Awe (-2) -- these numbers (+ or - X) refer to what?

thanks

the bonus dont means the same thing. For awe, its a modifier to the morale roll of the attacking unit (failed : wont attack), whereas for fear, it modify the area of effect of the fear effect, and the saving throw, but a +5 fear wont cause a -5 modifier to the saving throw, there is a correspondance table somewhere, in the bowels of dominions code.

There was a thread on fear effects, perhaps a search can give you more details.

OMG - limb loss! 4 x limb loss per turn? I better keep my 4-armed crossbreeds away from whoever has those axes!
