Blunt Weapons

Blunt weapons are melee weapons which inflict blunt-force trauma upon a target.

Overview
Blunt weapons include weapons such as clubs, maces, hammers, flails, and quarterstaves. These implements rely primarily or entirely on blunt trauma, which can severely damage a target's organs, shatter their bones, trigger internal bleeding, and dent their armor, which can impair both their mobility and ability to breathe. Their effectiveness against armor can be amplified with the addition of flanges, knobs, and/or spikes and hooks depending on the weapon. Blunt weapons may also feature blades for extra versatility.

Standard Bludgeon
Standard bludgeons do not feature any enhancements. Their effectiveness depends heavily on the user's physical strength.

High-Frequency Bludgeon
High-frequency bludgeons feature flanges, knobs, spikes, or hooks which vibrate at a high frequency for increased armor penetration.

Electroshock Bludgeon

Electroshock bludgeons deliver an electrical shock to their targets. The electricity is primarily used to quickly overload a target's shield.

Gravity Bludgeon
Gravity bludgeons produce a kinetic shock wave upon contact with a target, substantially amplifying the force of the strike. Such weapons can potentially fling their target across a room and shatter their entire body in a single blow.
