[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 42461, member: 1225"] That's almost exactly what I did. I called the large martial weapon a maul* (15 gp, 1d12/x3, 20 lbs) and called the medium-size exotic weapon a "sledge, war"** (25 gp, 1d10/x3, 15 lb). I tried to keep the same relation (wrt damage, weight & cost) between greataxe & maul and dwarven waraxe & war sledge, as there is between battleaxe & warhammer. * FRCS calls the large martial weapon a "maul", and I didn't want to change that to great hammer or the like, since it would mean remembering that every reference in an FR book to a "maul" really means "great hammer". I predicted confusion. :) ** I'm not terribly happy with that name, though. The other options I thought of were "mattock, war" and "mallet, war" -- but a mattock isn't really a bludgeoning weapon, and I tend to think of a small hammer when I hear "mallet". Anybody got a better name? [/QUOTE]
