Pickaxe tool damage value

There is no way that a mattock has a sharp enough edge to do cutting damage. Treat it as an axe that does crushing damage only.

Ta muchly Dan. The nearest I have come to modeling the damage from one of these beasties in real life is hitting myself in the foot, whilst wearing steel capped boots.

Tis it fair to treat it as a two handed Great Axe, but changing the damage to crushing?

Still give it a reach of 1/2* ?

It does if you sharpen it. Most wood axes aren't terribly sharp either.

A well-maintained wood axe is much sharper than a mattock

A whetstone is no where enough to sharpen a mattock. You'd need a grinding stone. When you are finished you'd be able to do cutting damage but it would only serve as a digging tool once. After that the edge will be severely damaged.
