War Mace

War Mace is a Primary Power Set for Brutes and Scrappers, and a Secondary Power Set for Tankers.

You are an expert with the big, two-handed mace. Not one for subtlety, you prefer the mace's direct approach to most obstacles. While anyone with the requisite strength can wield a mace in combat, you've mastered stunts and maneuvers that most could not hope to match. You attack with surprising speed, and often with such power as to knock your foes to the ground. You can sometimes even crush multiple targets at once!

A War Mace is a large, heavy weapon. You make a melee attack roll to hit a target with it, to which you add your Strength Modifier. You are also considered proficient with it, so you add your Proficiency Bonus to the attack roll. It deals base bludgeoning damage equal to 2d6 plus your Strength Modifier.

War Mace Features

War Mace Expert

You are an unparalleled expert with your weapon. You are proficient with heavy two-handed melee weapons that deal bludgeoning damage. For the purposes of this Power Set, a War Mace is a maul (from the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Player's Handbook).

• Extra Attack: When you use your Action to make a melee attack with your War Mac, you can make a second attack against any creature in range as part of the same Action. At 10th level you can make two additional attacks. Each attack uses its own attack and damage rolls.
• Bonus Attack: If you use your Action to make at least one War Mace attack, you can use your Bonus Action on the same turn to make an attack with the other end of the weapon. This attack uses its own attack roll and deals bludgeoning damage equal to 1d4 plus your Strength Modifier.
• Versatile Endurance: You can apply Endurance Dice to the attack rolls of your War Mace attacks as well as the damage rolls. These dice are applied individually.

Maneuvers

You can also use your Action to make special maneuvers with your War Mace. You can use Bash, Pulverize, and Jawbreaker at 1st level. You can use Clobber at 3rd level if War Mace is your Primary Power Set and at 8th level if it is your Secondary Power Set. You can use Shatter at 10th level if War Mace is your Primary Power Set and at 14th level if it is your Secondary Power Set.

• Bash (1st): When you successfully hit a creature with your War Mace that is vulnerable to bludgeoning damage, and after applying your damage the creature is below one half of its maximum hit points, the creature is stunned until the end of its next turn.
• Pulverize (1st): Whenever you successfully hit a single creature with at least two War Mace attacks as part of the same Action, deal at least one point of damage per hit, and you apply at least one Endurance Die to each attack roll, the target becomes vulnerable to bludgeoning damage until the end of its next turn.
• Jawbreaker (1st): If you make a successful War Mace attack roll against a Large or smaller creature that is stunned, and you add at least one Endurance Die to either your attack or damage roll, you can knock the creature upward 10 feet and then back down. It will take an additional 1d6 bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone.
• Clobber (3rd/8th): If you give yourself disadvantage on a War Mace attack roll that uses your Action, the attack roll is successful, you add at least one Endurance Die to your damage roll, and deal at least one point of damage, the target suffers an additional 2d6 bludgeoning damage and is stunned and becomes vulnerable to bludgeoning damage until the end of its next turn.
• Shatter (10th/14th): Your War Mace attack roll is now a critical hit on a die result of 18 or higher.

Build Up

Starting at 2nd level if Battle Axe is your Primary Power Set or at 6th level if it is your Secondary Power Set, you can take a moment to focus your senses. Roll at least one Endurance Die. You can add the result to every War Mace attack and damage roll you make until the end of your next turn. Using this feature does not cost an Action but you can only do it on your turn.

Whirling Mace

At 7th level if War Mace is your Primary Power Set or at 11th level if it is your Secondary Power Set, you can swing your War Mace around you in a circle. Each creature within 8 feet of you must make a successful Dexterity Saving Throw or take 4d6 bludgeoning damage and be stunned until the end of its next turn. If the Saving Throw succeeds, the creature takes half damage but is not stunned.

You can use Crowd Control at 12th level if War Mace is your Primary Power Set or at 15th level if it is your Secondary Power Set.

• Crowd Control (12th/15th): You can focus your Whirling Mace, striking only at creatures that are in front of you in a wide cone 7 feet long and 15 feet wide. If a creature fails its Saving Throw, it takes damage per Whirling Mace, but is knocked prone instead of being stunned.
