    A rather primitive recreation of the classic maul, the makeshift variant is sometimes reconstructed from a block of concrete with rebar, or a particularly large stone bound to a metal rod or pipe with cloth wrapping around the handle for grip. It is not an elegant weapon, nor does it need to be.

    Martial Melee 2d6 Bludgeoning Melee
