"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.
The great mace is the largest and heaviest weapon in the Maces & Flails category that most species can wield.
While it deals less damage than a triple sword, can't reach like a bardiche, or cleave like an executioner's axe, it can still deal heavy damage, and reaches minimum delay at a lower skill level.
Strategy
Ogres and trolls who plan to wield two-handed weapons will want a giant spiked club, but this remains a good endgame weapon for more average-sized Maces & Flails users.
Great maces are a fairly common weapon, often carried by ettins. They are closer to a battleaxe or glaive (in both rarity and strength) than they are an executioner's axe or bardiche.
