Mace Fighting

"If you ask me, the only real man's weapon is the mace. Well, I suppose the axe is all right too, if you want to do things the easy way, but I don't hold with none of that mincing swordplay or cowardly archery - yeah, you heard me right, bladeboy, I said "mincing." You don't like it, come talk to me in the pit. Interested? Didn't think so.

Anyway, nothing like the jar of a full forearm swing and the sound of a crunching skull to make you feel like a real Warrior."

PvP

Pros:

• Maces do an extra damage of 3 to 5 points to the victims stamina if a hit is made
• Maces apply damage to armor every time the armor absorbs damage. The amount of damage done to armor is half that of the damage points absorbed by the armor and typically lies in the 1-7 points range

Cons:

• Maces cannot be poisoned, however Swordsmanship and Fencing weapons can be poisoned

Notes

Quarter Staff is the fastest mace fighting weapon and has the highest damage-over-time

War Axe a little slower and weaker than the Q-staff, but is one-handed

War Hammer is a bit slow, however is the hardest two-handed hitting mace weapon
