Wasn't the maces bigger? This small one is cool, but it would be annoying using it on the battlefield. It would get stuck on your enemies' clothing. :P

Well if I was a night (which my rank is hehehe) I would start off with a longbow and then had to go into battle I would use a spear and when I lose that I would pull out my sword and I would have a hidden dagger just in case.

I have two: the crossbow, because one was used to make the first sniper shot in recorded history, and the Scottish Claymore broadsword: death at twice the range of everyone else's sword!

The Morningstar. Also known as the Flail, or the Ball and chain. Ball is usually spiked. It is probably the most lethal weapon of all.

My second choice would be a halberd though. The blades shape makes it versatile which is very helpful.

I agree with TheLegitGamer. That would certainly wake you up in the Morning. Ouch.

Correction of nomenclature: The Morningstar was a name given only to the spike-headed mace. The ball and chain and flail were simply that, not Morningstars.

Not true. The morning star is just a British version of the flail which is German.

I would probably use a Mongolian compound bow because the sheer speed and power you can fire it at longbows are cool but they give you back problems if you use them because the power needed to fire them and the angle you have to fire them with. For a melle weapon I would have to go for a Dao a broadsword mixed with a scimitar sort of thing.
