Re: Hockeystaff as a weapon
I was thinking of the traditional ice-hockeystick and yes by "deisgned as a weapon" I meant the 'blade' being exchanged or lined with sharp metal.
Thanks for the responses, I agree that the duelling bill is the best fit, but with thr+2 cut instead of thrust impaling. |

Re: Hockeystaff as a weapon
Because that post was in humor. :) At least where I live, there are plenty of ice hockey fans who think the game has become too rough and who make a big deal out of the injuries . . . and plenty of other fans who poke fun at the first lot with sarcastic agreement.

Re: Hockeystaff as a weapon
to go sideways a bit, a shinty/hurling/bando stick--unmodified--has been known to open a wound.
Also: IIRC there's a metal-bladed ice-hockey stick in Running Man.

Re: Hockeystaff as a weapon
Crushing weapons have always been able to cause bleeding. I think gamers persistent delusion about this dates all the way back to the excuse for D&D cleric weapon choices and the story of about Archbishop Turpin not wanting to shed blood, though in the actual Song of Roland he seems fine with using a lance and cleaving shields in twain.

Re: Hockeystaff as a weapon
Ayup. him and his personal (not church) oath to never shed blood. The picture of him in war shows him with a mace but the bishop next to him with a sword.

The back of a shinty stick or a hurley stick is narrow enough to be equivalent to being hit by the corner of a block of wood, easily concentrated enough to open a bleeding wound. Yes, it won't be cutting damage, but I didn't claim that. :)
