Roundhouse kick for the win
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?
at least the hammer side qualifies

Quarterstaff. Long things hit hard.
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.
Goedendag!
Good day to you too
was about to complain this wasn't an option. thanks for doing the lord's work
Aka 'pointy stick'
How you gonna do the Shillelagh this dirty?
It hardly matters, just as long as it's rusty and pointy...
Quarterstaff, personally. It can double as a walking stick.
Staffs are deceptively heavy.
I love flails.
But I would also take a Bec De Corbin Dallas, Multipass.
morningstar, with flail as a close second :3
I'm very confident that I would injure myself with a flail.
Ravens Beak ofc (bec de corbin)
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!
Mine's whatever Hawkgirl uses.
Double-sided tape?
Morningstar with magic disruption
Dude, you need a better mic. Thought you said to bring the flared base and I was expecting a completely different kind of party.
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.

Morningstar. Based entirely off of the (incorrectly) named macemen in Lords Of The Realm 2.
I've always been a flail kinda person
They may stop asking you, but nobody here got old enough to stop raving about their favorite when prompted.
Halberds combine the benefits of an axe and a spear. Best of both world
Not blunt though.
It is the best otherwise!
Any weapon can be a blunt weapon if you're holding it wrong
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.
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.
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.
Flanged mace any day of the week
At least half of those are not blunt
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.
No goedendag? Pffff!
Which one will kill me faster?
All I see are props for black metal album covers.
Flail, Rooneyscoop has wholly influenced this.
Maul, or flanged mace
