A greataxe is a military two-handed melee weapon in the axe weapon group.[PH:218]
A greataxe has high crits, dealing an extra 1d12 damage at levels 1-10, 2d12 damage at levels 11-20, or 3d12 damage at level 21-30, on a critical hit.
Ardents, avengers, barbarians, battleminds, fighters, paladins, rangers, wardens, and warlords are proficient with all military melee weapons, including the greataxe.
Other classes do not have proficiency with the greataxe as a class trait, but any character can become proficient by taking a Weapon Proficiency feat.
