A dwarven urgrosh is a double weapon, but unlike a double sword, using an urgrosh is not a graceful balletic dance. An urgrosh is a long battle axe with a nasty spear point on the opposite end of the long haft. The urgrosh's axe head is a Hacking weapon while its spear head is a Spindling weapon. You can use either head as the primary weapon. The other becomes the off-hand weapon. If you brace an urgrosh against a charging character, the spear head (Spindling) is the part of the weapon that deals damage. In typical use by a skilled user, swipes by the axe head alternate with vicious stabs by the spear, usually into the tops of the feet. An urgrosh isn't pretty, but it works excellently. The dwarven urgrosh belongs to the "Double" weapon group. The axe head is treated as a slashing weapon, while the spear head is treated as a piercing weapon, for the application of Weapon Properties, Feats, Dweomermetals and all other effects.
