			The purpose of most '''blunt weapons''' is to [[crush]]. Many of these weapons also deal [[puncture]] damage due to added spikes. One-handed blunt weapons are small and light enough to be wielded in a single hand, allowing the user to make use of a shield or a second weapon if so desired.
	'''Blunt weapons''' came into common use due to plate armors which were commonly worn by nobility on the battlefields. Lighter weapons such as [[short sword]]s usually could not puncture or crush plate armors effectively, so heavier blunt weapons or spiked weapons such as the [[crowbill]], [[war hammer]], and [[morning star]] came into common use. Although designed to be used against those in plate or chainmail armor, the weapons are still very effective against those who are not.

			Blunt weapons are less commonly used than [[edged weapon]]s among adventurers, and some professions require higher training point costs to become proficient at wielding them. Blunt weapons tend to be quite effective against chain and plate armors, having higher [[damage factor]]s against those armor types. The morning star, notably, has the highest damage factors against ''all'' armor types among one-handed weapons. Specialization in crushing damage also makes blunt weapons a potent choice for [[AMBUSH (verb)\|aimed attacks]] to the head, where a sufficiently powerful strike will guarantee a fatal blow.
