* Requires 14 ASTR to wield in one hand despite doing damage comparable to a one-handed weapon
== War Hammer ==
Two-handed war hammers are more common than their single-handed counterparts. War hammers are generated in a wide variety of metallic materials, but can also be generated with an [[ommel tooth]] head.<br>
War hammers deliver '''striking''' damage, and have a mediocre blocking modifier of 1200 due to their small size - they are only slightly bigger than a regular hammer.
War hammers are the easiest two-handed weapon to wield in one hand, and even a player with below average starting stats will be able to wield one in each hand - with a little trouble.
War hammers have an average strength modifier, making them "sturdy".<br>
They have an average primary material density, meaning changing the material of the war hammer will have a noticeable effect on its weight. War hammers feature a shaft made of lightweight [[List of materials#Fir|fir wood.]]
War hammers are attached to [[Loricatus]].
'''PROS:'''
* A good balance between accuracy, damage and sturdiness
* Ever so slightly more powerful and accurate than a regular hammer
* Low strength requirement
* Blunt weapon skill level carries over to a plethora of other equipment
* Can be effectively wielded in one hand much sooner than other two-handed weapons (12 ASTR)
* Blunt counterpart to the [[Axes|battle axe]]
'''CONS:'''
* Balanced weapons do not hold up as well as specialized ones in IVAN
* Weaker than other two-handed options
* Not very good at blocking
* One-handed weapons require less strength and can put out more damage than the war hammer
* Although the war hammer is more accurate, the [[Axes|battle axe]] is a better option in all others aspects
== Quarterstaff ==
Completely different from the other weapons here, the quarterstaff is a common two-handed polearm that happens to use the blunt weapons skill. Quarterstaves are frequently produced of wooden materials, but can also be found in [[arcanite]], [[octiron]] and [[ommel bone]].<br>
Quarterstaves deliver '''striking''' damage, and have a respectable block modifier of 2200 mostly due to their extreme size (or length in this case). <br>
Quarterstaves are completely different from other polearms, using the blunt weapon skill and being formed entirely of one material rather than formed of two (head/haft materials) and as a result are far heavier and less accurate.
Quarterstaves have a slightly below average strength modifier, making them "rather sturdy".<br>
They are ungodly heavy due to being formed entirely of their active material.
Quarterstaves are attached to [[Silva]].
'''PROS:'''
* Good block modifier
* Blunt weapon skill level carries over to a plethora of other equipment
* [[Staff of Wondrous Smells]]
'''CONS:'''
* Absurdly heavy
* Inaccurate
* High strength requirements for a two-handed weapon
* Low damage for a two-handed weapon
* Wooden materials reach their peak much earlier than metal, which leads to sub-par damage output and no room to upgrade for later in the game without a scroll of change material
