FOOTMAN'S MACE (bludgeon)
=========================
Weight: ~5 kg
Rank(s): 1st row

        Footman's maces originated as heavy wooden truncheons,
about two and a half feet in length and covered with iron studs. 
As time went by, flanged heads similar to the horsemen's mace 
were used instead. This mace is a two-handed weapon.
        There are two different types of footman's maces: an 
emergency weapon made from materials at hand and thrown together
by a blacksmith, and the maces made by professional weaponsmiths 
for troops. 
        The hasty, emergency maces are usually a wooden handle 
with any sort of metal head attached.

Some skill(s) usable with the weapon: 
  Battlecry, bludgeons, lure, pound and pulverize.
