Thoughts

Might we be able to add the code words axe to all greataxes and staff to all quarterstaves in game, and the like? It seems an absent yet intuitive key word. I was also thinking, could poison powder be added as an ingredient to the existing baking system? Thus producing the end result, but triggering a flag for poison if that works?

LAUDS to the Poison Powder suggestion.

Adding the keyword "axe" or "staff" will require modifying every single greataxe and quarterstaff in the game. That's a lot of work for a slight change.

There are 98 axes and greataxes in the game right now and they all include the keyword 'axe'. The problem, I believe, is with the random loot items and a fix there would be easy, but not retroactive. I'll look into it.
