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.
