Medeival Geeks! Is There a Term for a Mace-Wielder?

[the Jester]

Well, thanks, guys- I guess I am stuck with "maceman".

Darn.

 

[ejja_1]

It's for a fantasy game correct? Or does it have to historicly correct?
If it's fantasy you could name it after a regiment or unit that uses that weapon exclusivly.
Ei: The Mithral Dragons are a unit that uses heavy armor and blunt weapons, so any class specializing in it could be called a Mithril Dragon.
Just an idea....

Well, I was looking for a name for a type of monster that I'm converting- a "gulgar maceman" is what I'm looking at so far.

"Bonk Master"

That's what we call clerics, anyway.

"I whack 'im with my bonk stick!"

"Hey, bonk me with the heal staff!"

How about "gulgar bludgeoner"? While you might want to distinguish "maces" from "bludgeons"... it's a similar sort of thing (noun) and you do the same thing with both (verb, to bludgeon).

How about Gulgar Smasher?
Or Gulgarian Brute?
just 2 off the top of my head.

Smiters.
Iron stars.
Brutes (the derogatory form was a PR move by knights to sully the rep of mace-wielders).

Note: I made these up for gaming purposes. They are not historical in any way.

Macist

 

[mmadsen]

Being an uncivilized weapon it really didn't have a name for one who specialized in them. The average man could use a club to beat someone wish, so an upgraded club was given to fill in the ranks where no skill or knowledge of use was needed.

A scepter is an ornamental mace. While a club may be a peasant's weapon, a mace is a king's weapon.

Maceketeer!
