Ogres best friend GSC
My biggest issue is that the Giant clubs are pretty much a no brainer for Ogres and you can get them pretty much always before lair. Also, the first Ogre you encounter can have a GSC making GC pretty much pointless (ba dum tish). This narrows down the window where a lucky item generation could make you want to train something else than M&F.
I am fine with the aptitudes Ogres have, it's fine that they pretty much always use M&F, but at least there should be more viable options in that category for them than the GSC. One option would be to allow them to use regular sized Two handed maces with one hand. If this is too much or hard to balance, change GC to be one handed for Ogres and perhaps nerf it some. Then others could perhaps use it with two hands. Unless the handle is too thick for their hands to grip properly at all...
Also it could be good to make GC and GSC appear more apart from each other. Regular Ogres carry only GC, but Hill Giants and Stone Giants would introduce GSCs. Or even better, rename GSC to Demon Hammer, Giant Hammer, Battle Hammer etc. and introduce a new monster type that carries them. (This game needs more hammers!!! Great mace should also be Great Hammer...)
