This post is just making me nostalgic for Diablo 2, but also Bec de Corbin because it’s unique
Quarterstaff, I like plausible deniability.
That flail is certainly the worst of the lot. Terrible impractical weapon with scant evidence of it ever being used by anyone.
There’s a two-handed version of the flail that is basically an agricultural threshing tool with spikes stuck into the head, which is much more plausible as a peasant’s weapon (very similar development process as the nunchaku, also a highly overrated weapon). However most weapons that feature a flexible rope/chain part in their design all suffer from the same drawbacks: difficult to control, and limited striking power.
Love a good flanged mace.
That’s one that works against everything.
Morningstar.
I’m partial to a regular old mace
Nice and simple, very swingy
Where the Goedendag? Not only is it a large club with a spike for good measure, but it has a Dutch name that means “good day”, or “hello”.
I had never heard of this, that is certainly my new favourite
Love the brutal simplicity of the cudgel
