Hypothesis (read as: my whiny complaint)
- Hammers are stupidly heavy and it's dumb and upsets me and I want someone to change it.
- Axe = stick with a heavy blade on it
- Mace = stick with a heavy turd on it
- Hammer = stick with a heavy cylinder on it
- I expect a hammer or mace's weight relative to an axe's to be between 1.0 and 1.5ish?
- If I made a "bigger" weapon for a larger/stronger wielder I'd use a longer haft and a heavier blade/turd/cylinder but expect the weight ratios to stay the same. Unless I was in Azeroth.
Process
- I collected some weapons and looked at them while holding them.
Conclusions
- Material obviously plays a huge role in weight, compare Giant fiery steel mace with Hlerbani for a 90kg difference, or adamantite vs. fiery steel weapons.
- A lot of weapons don't have distinct haft-materials, this can affect different weapons more or less based on geometry. I have no idea to what degree this matters.
- Weapon size category either has nothing, or very little to do with weight. (this isn't a surprise, but it's dumb is what I'm saying).
- Square Cube rule seems to be affecting certain weapons more than others as their dimensions are scaled up. ((Great Hammer) = 2.45 * (Greatsword). (Giant Hammer) = 12.78 * (Giant Sword) lolwat)
Not addressed here
- There are a lot of materials that are practically weightless, and that's also dumb nonsense.
- Weapon weight doesn't directly impact ratings while using it (aside from encumbering you), that's also weird. (maybe it does actually, just speculation on my part)
