Giant maul | Giant maul
Cost: 5 :chroma / 6 :chroma
Type: weapon
Stats: 8 | 5 / 10 | 8
Ability:
  • unupgraded: Two-handed: Occupies shield's slot as well.
  • upgraded: Two-handed: Occupies shield's slot as well.

Description / clarification

An'old' idea what never really went to the forum, till now.
Basically a Morning Star|Titan with +1-2 attack, without any positive effect and a side-disadvantage. Still will be very effective in rainbow rush.

Drops actual shield, when comes to play and drops self, if you play|get a shield.

If only :chroma wasn't already overflowing with weapons :(
Neat idea though. Maybe a different element?

Overflowing, but most of it UP (no one would want to pay +1  :chroma just for a situational +1 attack with a tiny side effect Edit: Comparing to Short sword, longsword is even better). And all of it has a different purpose to exist.

And I don't want to ruin the 2 weapon/element scheme.

lol... good point(s)

hmm... what do you think about having it be a :chroma spell that converts an equipped weapon into a 2-handed version, providing bonus attack and extra flown HP.

I.e. "Target equipped weapon gains
'2-handed'. It occupies both slots (replaces shield), gains +5 damage, and +5 flown HPs."

So, an elementally more flexible Tempering with a disadvantage? Hmm...

Yes... and more flexibility as well
e.g.
cast on enemy weapon for a trollish anti-shield.
protect a weak weapon before flying it.

Waiting for a third-party suggestion about which version should be. And if Odin's, then thinking on a compensation way to  :chroma weapons against the rare weapons.

Feels like a hassle to implement cleanly, even with a change to "Cannot wield a shield while wielding Giant Maul"
