The Rogue and the Mace
The Rogue and the Mace
Happy 2021 everybody.
In the Rogue description, it is said the class is proficient with the mace weapon. It is intended the light version only or all versions of the mace are included (light, heavy and large)?
Also: in the equipment section I have seen the large mace is lighter that the light and the heavy mace. It is an error?

Re: The Rogue and the Mace
If it just says "mace" that would be any mace. In the PHB the light mace is 3 lbs. and the large & heavy mace are 4 lbs.
Re: The Rogue and the Mace
Well, if every mace could be included, I think it would have been more appropiate the term "maces". The single term seems to imply that only one kind of mace can be used properly by a rogue. Ok after all for the heavy mace, but the large one seems a cavalry weapon.
I am reading the 7th print of the PHB. It says light mace 3 EV and large & heavy maces 4 EV. BUT they are 6 lbs for light and heavy maces and just 5 lbs for the large one, an oddity!

I'm reading the 3rd printing of the PHB, it says light mace is 3 EV and 6 lbs., large mace is 4 EV and 10 lbs., heavy mace is 4 EV and 12 lbs.mostrojoe wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 10:17 amWell, if every mace could be included, I think it would have been more appropiate the term "maces".

Re: The Rogue and the Mace
In the latest printing they indicate restriction by explicitly naming the weapon(s) allowed. E.g. the weapons allowed by the Cleric class, "light or heavy mace." In English grammar it is correct to say "mace" to indicate any mace. Saying, Clerics can use maces is incorrect. The correct wording would be, "Clerics can use the mace."
Re: The Rogue and the Mace
So it would appear that the latest printing has it wrong then.
Re: The Rogue and the Mace
I red the 7th printing, the one actually downloadable for free. I should check the old B&W printing I have, that I really like anyway.
