"Axe" attribute for Legionnaires

Oddly enough however, the pilum will only bend if the wooden dowel attaching the shaft to the head shatters (or something of that nature, I'm not sure). If the dowel is made of metal, then the pilum becomes nearly impossible to bend.

There were two varieties, I believe. The earlier one just had a large portion of the shaft made of softish iron. Basically, when it hit it would bend, making it useless until someone straightened it out again (a simple task). A later version had a normal javelin head with two pins holding it into the shaft, one wooden and one metal. When that kind hit, the wooden pin would snap, causing the javelin head to fall askew and making the weapon similarly useless until it could be repaired by the simple addition of a spare wooden pin. The later variation was introduced due to the difficulty/expense of making a long piece of iron soft enough to bend correctly but hard enough to do plenty of damage.

This is all from memory, though, so I'm quite possibly wrong on parts of it.
