Versatile:
- This weapon can be wielded in one or two hands. When it is wielded in one hand it uses the Damage number before the '/', when it is wielded in two hands it uses the Damage number after the '/'. This also applies to any Qualities with a '/' in them.
- This weapon can change between being wielded in one or two hands as part of another Manouevre or by spending a Story Point outside of the turn. This weapon can only become wielded in two hands if the second hand is empty and not crippled.
Defensive-0/1:
- This weapon adds +0/d to the difficulty of any Melee Attacks that target the bearer.
Stun-3/2:
- This weapon can spend aaa/aa from an attack any number of times to inflict 1 Strain each time. The attack does not need to be successful to do this.
Crushing:
- This weapon can spend an additional a when it scores a Critical Hit to score a Crushing Critical Hit instead.
When equipped by a Military Unit a heavy mace is one of many kinds of Hand Weapon, it has no effect on the unit's fighting capabilities.
Potential Improvements
- Spiked Flanges: Sometimes referred to as a 'morningstar', a mace can have spikes affixed to its head. It changes its Stun quality to Stun-4/3, gains the Pierce-1 quality and replaces its Crushing critical hits with Piercing Critical Hits.
