Idk, I kinda like the candle stick/coat rack

[–] SteveNashFan@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Roundhouse kick for the win

[–] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago

Quarterstaff. Long things hit hard.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

flanged mace 100% but I am also not disinterested in bec de corbin

[–] exu@feditown.com 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Re: Bac de Corbin, what's the minimum percentage of bluntness to count as a blunt weapon?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

at least the hammer side qualifies

How you gonna do the Shillelagh this dirty?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

It hardly matters, just as long as it's rusty and pointy...

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Quarterstaff, personally. It can double as a walking stick.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I love flails.

But I would also take a Bec De Corbin Dallas, Multipass.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 9 points 9 months ago

Ravens Beak ofc (bec de corbin)

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think war hammer gives you the most versatility as a weapon, and flanged mace is my favorite for style, but my heart belongs to the quarterstaff, as it long has. Defense and offense and its a big stick!

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Tired of defending attacks and counter attacking at slight range? Use it as a walking stick!

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Mine's whatever Hawkgirl uses.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago

Double-sided tape?

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Morningstar with magic disruption

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Mace and/or quarterstaff are my preference. Simple, not a lot to go wrong or get caught on things. Light enough to get multiple hits in quick succession.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Simple mace is the easy answer. It's lighter than the quarterstaff, and the skill transfer from baseball and pillow fights is fairly direct.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago

Definitely the simple mace over the flanged. Its more or less just a baton with a weight at the end.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Cudgel [BONK]

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Morningstar. Based entirely off of the (incorrectly) named macemen in Lords Of The Realm 2.

[–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Halberds combine the benefits of an axe and a spear. Best of both world

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Not blunt though.

It is the best otherwise!

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

If you want blunt-ish, try the Lucerne hammer. The pronged hammer could penetrate plate armour without getting stuck, and its length made it better for spearing than the bec de corbin.

[–] goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 months ago

Any weapon can be a blunt weapon if you're holding it wrong

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Dude, you need a better mic. Thought you said to bring the flared base and I was expecting a completely different kind of party.

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 9 months ago

I've always been a flail kinda person

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

mace, straight up, no worrying about getting it stuck in someone's face like a morningstar

Well the flanged mace is objectively the best one if we're going to ignore the Lucerne.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

At least half of those are not blunt

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 5 points 9 months ago

Flanged mace any day of the week

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Ok, but I did have this exact conversation with my kids last week. Mace and morningstar were the winners; I'm partial to a war hammer, myself.

[–] BodilessGaze@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I like the quarterstaff, but you know what would make it even better? If you took a sharp piece of metal and put it on one end so you can stab a dude after bonking him. I don't know what you'd call it though. A staffstab?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

That stabstaff should be really handy for spearing people.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Flail, Rooneyscoop has wholly influenced this.

Which one will kill me faster?

[–] Vrijgezelopkamers@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

No goedendag? Pffff!

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago

All I see are props for black metal album covers.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 3 points 9 months ago

Maul, or flanged mace

[–] caboose2006@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Keep it simple for me. Cudgel or spiked club.
