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?

That stabstaff should be really handy for spearing people.
I'm partial to polearms, and the bec de corbin has always been a favorite. Quarterstaff is nice as well, although I prefer them with less decorations
How you gonna do the Shillelagh this dirty?
I like a good mail. It's right there in the name. Says what it does right on the label.
Maul?
mace, straight up, no worrying about getting it stuck in someone's face like a morningstar
Right there with you. Nothing compares to blunt force.
Keep it simple for me. Cudgel or spiked club.
Cudgel [BONK]
The Bec de Corbin is nice for when you aren't sure if you're feeling buldgeony or stabby. It's like the chicken and waffles of the blunt weapon world.
Maul, or flanged mace
morningstar, with flail as a close second :3
I'm very confident that I would injure myself with a flail.
flanged mace 100% but I am also not disinterested in bec de corbin
Re: Bac de Corbin, what's the minimum percentage of bluntness to count as a blunt weapon?
All of the bottom ones except the quarterstaff are more piercing weapons with extra weight
at least the hammer side qualifies
I love flails.
But I would also take a Bec De Corbin Dallas, Multipass.
Ravens Beak ofc (bec de corbin)
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.
Simple mace is the easy answer. It's lighter than the quarterstaff, and the skill transfer from baseball and pillow fights is fairly direct.
Definitely the simple mace over the flanged. Its more or less just a baton with a weight at the end.
All I see are props for black metal album covers.
Weird, flanged mace is mine too. Must be a D&D thing
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!
Tired of defending attacks and counter attacking at slight range? Use it as a walking stick!
No goedendag? Pffff!
At least half of those are not blunt
Which one will kill me faster?
Well the flanged mace is objectively the best one if we're going to ignore the Lucerne.
Idk, I kinda like the candle stick/coat rack
Roundhouse kick for the win
Quarterstaff. Long things hit hard.
Flanged mace any day of the week
