Seen throughout folklore and popular culture as the favored weapons of cavemen and giants, the club is truly one of the oldest and most straightforward weapons available. The wooden club is not only easy to improvise, but has a number of real world analogs, as well. Modern clubs include baseball bats, walking sticks, Irish shillelagh, African knobkerries and wooden batons. All of these are weighted appropriately and can be used to bash a foe upside the head without penalty. Improvised clubs might include chair or table legs, two-by-fours or broom handles. (These weapons suffer the –1 penalty associated with most improvised weapons, however.) Non-wooden clubs have the same Traits, except for their Durability, which is that of the material they’re made of.

Wooden Club

Seen throughout folklore and popular culture as the favored weapons of cavemen and giants, the club is truly one of the oldest and most straightforward weapons available. The wooden club is not only easy to improvise, but has a number of real world analogs, as well. Modern clubs include baseball bats, walking sticks, Irish shillelagh, African knobkerries and wooden batons. All of these are weighted appropriately and can be used to bash a foe upside the head without penalty. Improvised clubs might include chair or table legs, two-by-fours or broom handles. (These weapons suffer the –1 penalty associated with most improvised weapons, however.) Non-wooden clubs have the same Traits, except for their Durability, which is that of the material they’re made of.

Improvised clubs are random objects used as clubs. They stat just like a club: durability as material, size needs to be 2, but attacks are at -1 penalty for being an improvised weapons.

It is common in media to see clubs "upgraded" via means of adding spikey protrusions to it. This is done with nails, barbed wire, blades, or aught else that will slash or stab when attached to the club. In game, this functions like the Board With a Nail in It weapon (page 41 of Armory), save it isn't improvised. Half the damage inflicted is lethal (round down, minimum 1). Unlike a Board with a Nail in It, users may not have an option to use a blunted side. A bat wrapped in barbed wire has not blunt side, but one with saw blades on a single facing does.
