I think the most puzzling bit about it all is why some 1h mace are 2.5 weight yet a long hafted spiked mace is 3 weight, with only roughly a 2% more chance to knock down according to those calcuations.
Surely a large piece of thick hard wood with a big lump of metal on the end is going to be more than just 0.5 heavier than a little 1h mace?. I think that's why I stopped using it in the end, the 1h maces seemed to knock down just as much, if not even more than my long hafted spiked mace, because the fact 1h weapons have an easier time hitting the head, amplifying the damage and increasing the knock down chance?. Considering Long Hafted Spiked mace is double the length than the Iron Mace, with a huge lump of metal on the end, just 91 speed and the Unbalanced trait, doesn't it deserve more than a 2% advantage over a 1h mace where knockdown is concerned?. Buff LHSM weight for increased knockdown chance! (thread hijacked )
