Hoe

The hoe is a common farm implement. It appears in Ultima VI, Martian Dreams, Ultima VII and Ultima VII Part Two.

Description
Hoes are generally only used by farmers for moving soil, chopping weeds and roots, and digging shallow furrows and trenches. It can be used as a makeshift weapon, but not a very efficient one, as its construction requires the use of two hands.

Effectiveness as a Weapon

 * In Ultima VI, hoes have a damage of 4 and a reach of 0.
 * In Martian Dreams, hoes have a damage of 1 and a reach of 0.
 * In Ultima VII and Ultima VII Part Two, hoes have a damage of 2 and a reach of 3.

Trivia

 * The Hoe of Destruction is a fine example of what magic can create from a common-variety farming tool.
 * Hoes and similar tools useable as weapons could also be found on Mars in the 19th century -- see Weapons in Martian Dreams.
