CLUB (bludegon)
===============
Weight: ~2 kg
Rank(s): 1st row
Most clubs are stout, hardwood sticks, narrow at the
grip and wider at the end. This simple weapon has been used
since mankind first began using tools. Anyone can find a good
stout piece of wood and swing it; hence the club's widespread
use.
The club is the ancestor of the mace, since warriors
eventually fitted their clubs with spikes and metal heads in
order to increase their deadliness.
As centuries passed, cultures began embracing
civilization and advanced technology. They looked down on the
club as a primitive tool and a barbarian weapon. Peasants often
arm themselves with clubs, sometimes adapting them by adding
iron spikes, resulting in the morningstar.
Centaurs are often seen wielding clubs, since sylvan
settings have ample wood for fashioning such weapons. Ogres
also use clubs, since the weapon does not require brains to
use or make.
Some skill(s) usable with the weapon:
Battlecry, bludgeons, lure, pound and pulverize.
