The '''great mace''' is the largest and heaviest weapon in the Maces & Flails category that most races can wield. It is less devastating than an [[executioner's axe]] or a [[triple sword]], but can still deal heavy damage and reaches its minimum delay at a lower skill level. Even so, if you intend to be a two-handed weapon fighter, you will probably want to look elsewhere.

An enormous metal war club, of great cumbrousness.

"There will arise one named Feridoun, who shall inherit thy throne and reverse thy fortunes, and strike thee down with a cow-headed mace."

-Firdausi, _Shahnameh_. ca. 1000 A.D.

trans. Helen Zimmern, 1883.

This weapon falls into the 'Maces & Flails' category. It is a two handed weapon, and it is best used by the strong.

The great mace is the largest and heaviest weapon in the Maces & Flails category that most species can wield. While it's less powerful than a triple sword and cannot cleave like an executioner's axe, it can still deal heavy damage and reaches its minimum delay at a lower skill level. Large species who plan to wield two-handed weapons should just go straight for a giant spiked club; others may wish to aim for one of the aforementioned weapons instead.
