A light mace was a simple melee bludgeoning weapon and a smaller form of the heavy mace.[1]
Description[]
A light mace was little more than a club with flanges, knobs, or ridges of metal placed symmetrically around the head. It was made completely out of metal, making it a heavy but difficult to break weapon. A typical light mace weighed 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms).[1]
Cost[]
An average light mace cost 5 gp.[1]
Use[]
This weapon was intended to be used one-handed and was simple enough for most combatants to use without any training.[1]
Realmslore[]
The light mace was the favored weapon of the deities Amaunator[2] and Lathander, who also treated the heavy mace the same.[3]
