Blunt weapons

While the damage output is inferior to large swords, and the accuracy is not as good compared to whips and small swords, blunt weapons are generally well balanced nevertheless.

Most important thing about the 'blunt weapons' is that 2 of magical weapons out of 5 (the staff of wondrous smells and the thunder hammer) and 3 named weapons out of 8 (Turox, Gorovits family hammer and Neerc Se-ulb) are in this category. And if you dare use the holy banana to strike the enemy, this too count as a blunt weapon.

There are 4 types of weapons in 'blunt weapons' category: the ordinary one-handed hammer, which doesn't do much damage but has high accuracy, and the stronger war-hammer and the mace, both of which can be wielded by two hands, and the massive but not-that-effective quaterstaff, which is the bulkiest of all weapons.
