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.
