Unfortunately, I did not make copies of the reviews, so there is nothing I can do about it.I can answer the OP again, though if that would help.As far as the Flail-Mace, I had a friend of mine do some 3-d drawings of it where it did seem to work. I am not good at any kind of pics, nor do I know how to add them to posts; but I will try to figure it out, scan the pic, and add it to this post if I can. (Scanning will be the first problem).Godentag: This book is not an actual historical reference, some changes had to be made for the sake of the game. The godentag and godendag though similar in name were actually different weapons and both were called by either name. The one presented in the book is described as mace-like with a longer handle and an enlongated spike on top of the mace-head (or in some descriptions hammer-head). It was first used by Flemish militia to take out mounted French knights, often doubling as an anti-charge weapon. The weapon could be used one-handed but was actually mostly used two-handed because of the long handle. The French took the weapon home with them. For game terms, I had to go with one-handed for my godentag or come up with a special rule for allowing it to be used one-handed. The other weapon, the axe-pike-pick version, was also used against the French by the Flemish, it was specifically a two-handed weapon. The king's walking stick is an actual weapon (for which I could not find any pictures only descriptions) called King Henry's Walking Stick. I had to drop the real-world reference to Henry but otherwise kept it the same. The weights are not real-world weights but a holdover from 1e-2e where weight and encumbrance were combined according to how difficult the item was to store and carry: e.g. a 10-lb. block of wood would weigh less than a 10-lb. door by basis of how hard it was to carry.The weight of the lead shots are only a close approximation, closely aligned to the sling bullet and the information I used from EN Arsenal, Pistols.The number of pistols can be figured from the amount of extra cash it would take to make each pistol masterwork (+1200 gp, or 4); but that should have been mentioned specifically in the description. Sorry, silly me.Mace-Axe: You could turn the weapon sideways to deal non-lethal or subdual damage just like with a sword. But the axeblade cleaves into the target while the spheres crush the area around the wound dealing both damages at once. The weapon is not listed as slashing or bludgeoning.I hope this helped you.CiaoDave</blockquote>
