Throwing Axes

[Knight Of Pentacles]

I don't foresee halfling spellblades using throwing axes even if their weight was reduced.  That -2 to strength hurts like the devil and they'd really be better off using darts.  Many people don't take into account how cool something looks if it is mechanically superior.  Can't we just balance them to weigh about .3 lbs with more expensive lightened ones weighing .2 or .1 lbs?  It really isn't that big a deal
