So axes deal bonus damage vs shields. Cool. I like that.

But if you do that, maces need to do bonus damage vs armor.

I'm not sure how you would code that, as armor doesn't have separate HP the way shields do, but in particular since maces and other blunt weapons lack the length of spears, the flexibility of swords, and the shield damage of axes you need to have some reason to use them. Some armor penetration of some kind is needed.

We all talk so much about how badly polearms need a rework on account of the design intent of the weapon, well, maces were designed to **** up people in plate mail, they also need to do what's on the proverbial box.
