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)
