 ==Generation==
-Great maces do not randomly generate, but may be [[wish]]ed for.
+Great maces make up {{frac|200}} (0.5%) of all weapons that are randomly generated on the ground, in general [[shop]]s or as [[death drop]]s. Used armor dealerships and antique weapon outlets can also stock great maces.
 ==Description==
-At Skilled and Expert [[skill]], great maces gain the [[hew]], [[stunning strike]], [[knock back]], [[knock back charge]], and [[penetrate armor]] [[expert trait]]s. For human-sized [[hero]]s, great maces gain double strength bonus damage from being two-handed weapons.
+A hero that [[wield]]s a great mace as a two-handed weapon gains a doubled damage bonus from their strength, while a great mace that is made small in size or lower, or else is wielded by a hero of large or greater size, will only gain a 1.5x bonus from strength (up to +12). A hero that wields a great mace while at Skilled or better in great maces gains the "hew", "stunning strike", "knock back", "knock back charge", and "penetrate armor" [[expert trait]]s.
