CLUB (bludgeon)
===============
Weight: ~2 kg
Rank(s): 1st row

        Most clubs are stout, hardwood sticks, narrow at the 
grip and wider at the end. This simple weapon has been used 
since mankind first began using tools. Anyone can find a good 
stout piece of wood and swing it; hence the club's widespread 
use.
        The club is the ancestor of the mace, since warriors 
eventually fitted their clubs with spikes and metal heads in 
order to increase their deadliness.
        As centuries passed, cultures began embracing 
civilization and advanced technology. They looked down on the 
club as a primitive tool and a barbarian weapon. Peasants often 
arm themselves with clubs, sometimes adapting them by adding 
iron spikes, resulting in the morningstar.
        Centaurs are often seen wielding clubs, since sylvan 
settings have ample wood for fashioning such weapons. Ogres
also use clubs, since the weapon does not require brains to 
use or make.

Some skill(s) usable with the weapon: 
  Battlecry, bludgeons, lure, pound and pulverize.
