The battle-club would not find out your name -- it would just find your flesh. - Sumerian Proverb
Over the course of Fall and Winter, I'm planning to illustrate the forty-or-so standard weapons in Dungeons & Dragons along with their silvered counterparts for an upcoming ~secret~ project of mine. My plan is for the styles to vary from weapon to weapon, depending on their use, social stature, and technical finesse. I started out with the tried-and-true handy-dandy club. Clubs can found just about anywhere and fashioned out of just about anything: A tree limb, femur, bat... you name it.
Thanks for looking! Hope you're rolling critical hits out there!

Ahh yes, the standard issue skull wacker. The only reason to equip this weapon was for the evil amusement of a torturor to continue to inflict pain before any serious damage can be done. For a poor kobold, this was the standard issue offensive weapon, because it was a melee weapon small and cheap enough they could lift it in one hand to appear intimidating to their peers.
This is one of those weapons I always felt was on the bottom of everyone's equipment wish list, because there are so many more effective damage dealing weapons. It takes a very creative build to make weapons like this useful in later levels.
And before I forget, excellent design work. Love your illustration technique.
I'll be honest, I've never rolled a character that uses a club! I guess I need to dive into Barbarians a bit more! Always fun to tenderize some flesh.
Appreciate it!
