MACE (bludgeon)
===============
Weight: ~2-5 kg
Rank(s): 1st row
The mace is a direct descendant of the basic club, being
nothing more than a wooden club with a stone or iron head mounted
on one end. The head design varies, with some being spiked, others
flanged, and still others with pyramidical knobs.
The mace has existed since man began working with metal.
The first maces were made in order to give the club wielder more
power in his swing.
High-level priests, knights, and even paladins may have
a personalized, decorated mace that serves primarily as a symbol
of rank.
Since the mace is a weapon that requires very little in
the way of specialized training, it is a favored weapon among
the goblinoid races.
Some skill(s) usable with the weapon:
Battlecry, bludgeons, lure, pound and pulverize.
