I need rules for a maul but idk where to find it. help anyone?
In the Complete Warrior for 3.5 there was a maul as an exotic weapon. In the Player's Guide to Rise of the Runelords there is a weapon called the earthbreaker, I think, which was essentially a maul (looked more like a two handed meat tenderizer) as a martial weapon. If I recall correctly it did 2D6 bludgeoning damage and criticaled for x3, while weighing a wonderful 14 lbs.

if my maul wasnt already called Bear Raper, i would so name it Meat Tenderizer. That or Drain Bramage!

In Pathfinder the Maul is known as the "Earthbreaker" which has stats in a multitude of places. The Adventurer's Armory is one of them, but you can also find the stats on the D20 PFSRD Webpage
The maul also exists in the 3.0 Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting.
This recently came up for me, as well. I simply took the stats for a greatclub and doubled the price. Two handed warhammer, essentially.
The Gnomes of Glorian book introduced a Piston Maul that is operated by a Thunderstone. Stats are on the same site MisterSlanky mentioned.
What about this Maul?

Both the Rise of the Runelords and Curse of the Crimson Throne player's guides have the Earth Breaker in them... FREE downloads here at Paizo.
Maul is essentially a generic term for any hammer larger than a sledgehammer.
So yes, the Earth Breaker is a maul, and the rules for it work better than the other suggestion I've found, which is to use the Greatclub as a basis.
Technically it could be a large sized warhammer.
-2 atk for being wrong size for the character
2d6/X3 Bludgeoning damage, 10 lb, two-handed

The earthbreaker has the same stats without the minus to attack.

Which begs the question, if a Greatsword is 2d6 19-10 x2 and an Earthshaker is 2d6 x3, why would you ever use a great axe?

Looks. Not everyone cares about average damage. It looks bad-axe!
its sad when you see a thread that catches your eye and then you see that your the one that created it and didnt remember.
Nothing personal, but we have to hurt you now.
Go ahead and try! I gots my bad axe! :P
construction?
my favorite write up for a maul is a little obscure. It's from the D20 Iron kingdoms info. I throws 3d4 instead of 2d6 or 1d12 and was only a x2 crit leaving both great sword and greataxe thier proper places of usefullness. In that setting bludgeoning damage would have been enough to be very useful, but the higher minimum damage was a nice touch too.

Keep in mind, after the advanced race guide there are now "Dwarven Long Hammers" and "Dwarven Long Axes" added to the mix, same as their namesakes, but now with reach!

Do like everyone did in 3.0. Take a warhammer, increase by one size category, now you have a maul.
1 handed: 1d8/x3 bludgeoning -> 2 handed: 2d6/x3 bludgeoning.
For something a little more Exotic and Smashy, I always liked the 3.5 edition Greathammer (a.k.a. the Goliath Greathammer).
1d12 x4 and +2 bonus to Sunder attempts
(Exotic weapon of course)
As was already mentioned many many times... no need to do a conversion for a typical Martial Maul... that's what the Earthbreaker is.
2d6 x3
I'm still a bit ticked off that they made the Tetsubo an EXOTIC weapon though, as it's stats don't come close to justifying it.
1d10 x4
In my experience, the 3.5 Greathammer was more than balanced as an exotic weapon.
Then again, I also hate how they consider the Greatclub a Martial weapon in Pathfinder... it definitely has Simple-level stats and it makes no sense that you need special martial training to swing a baseball bat.
*shrug*
Whoever designed the Tetsubo probably based it off of the Greatclub being a Martial weapon, which is already kind of silly and doesn't work.
I REALLY hope they fix these inconsistencies in the upcoming Ultimate Equipment Guide

I like that the 3.5 maul can be used like a bastard sword or dwarf war ax. That is that it can be used as a martial weapon with two hands or with the right training, exotic weapon proficiency, it can be used as a one handed weapon. Really nice for a magus or duskblade that wants a hand free for spell casting. or anyone that wants a little more damage with a one handed weapon.
