And that's not the point. Improvised weapons are really good when you have no weapon at all (a improvised weapon can be a life saver and I know that!). However, a adventurer will not stay with a improvised weapon for all his carerer...

So perhaps we have to change the question to this: why a adventurer should choose a crushing weapon when he could choose a cutting and heavy weapon.

The picture below is not from a adventurer, but I guess you can figure out what I mean:
