Make Blunt Weapons More Common Overall

[Shadowcreep]

Whether you go to shops or you go to a battlefield, blunt weapons are terribly uncommon in Calradia. Maces and hammers would definitely be useful against men in heavy armor; a blade isn't always the answer to everything. I find it difficult to grab a good blunt weapon from a weapon merchant, while there's plenty of low-to-average quality blades of every kind all about.

I think more troop types, mostly infantry, should have the option of blunt weapons in addition to their different swords or spears or whatnot. I also think blunt weapons should be more available in stores all around.

Rhodok sergeants carry blunt hammers... it is VERY annoying in sieges when you just want to kill all the defenders... but it is also godly if you're into massive prisoner farming. (just throw the sergeants on blunt only and send them in... presto! 50 prisoners every time .

I was seeing quite a few military hammers in 1.125, but haven't found a single one for sale since updating to 1.126 - I'm not sure if they were disabled at vendors, or if I've just gotten really unlucky . I'd really like to use Flanged Maces, but the damage gap between those and military hammers is something like 7 points; sometimes it seems to take quite a few hits with a flanged mace to take out high tier soldiers.

You can always grab a maul off of the mountain bandits, it is pretty decent for 2h blunt... Perhaps if you kill some sergeants you can loot whatever blunt weapon they use?. It is annoying how some things can only be gained through loot.

I don't think I've found any military hammers yet.  I definitely agree that there should be a bit more blunts.

I would love some blunt arrows, like from the arena .

Even if they had like -3 damage or something

Blunt weapons should really be more common, but I think they are limited because its a prison maker weapon.

To my mind the best way would be to make blunt weapons stronger in combat, more common and in exchange reduce the prison maker ability(maybe a "blunted" enemy gets killed by a chance of 33%)

The only problem of this is, that there are quests which rely on bluntweapons.

The thing is, though, now you can build businesses it's easy to make a lot of money without having to rely on prisoners, so being able to take lots of prisoners isn't as unbalancing as it may once have been (if it ever was).

If I have an army of Rhodok Sergeants, I would want top quality swords for myself and my companions.
