spathovakion no pierce ?

I believe it doen't. It's the one drawback that makes it so it's not just a superior Iberian Mace, as that would be silly. Gotta balance it with other blunt 1hs.

Don't all blunt weapons have a chance to knockdown?

Or am I confused?

I was pretty sure that all blunt weapons that aren't spears had a chance of knockdown, but then I realized the practice sword doesn't either so I am not sure.

M, true dat.

But stuff like, say, the blunt part of polearms even, has knockdown.

Can somebody who knows their shit get in 'ere?

Not all weapons have a chance of knockdown. As to why secondary modes have knockdown on poles but it is not stated in the stats, not sure on that one. But generally if a weapon doen't say knockdown, it doesn't have it. The secondary modes on poles being the obvious exception.

It would be silly if the 0 slot hammer had knockdown and this didn't.

It's funny because that's exactly the case.

Pretty positive it does.  I haven't tried it yet, but the only difference between this and the iberian mace is -1 damage for +4 length.  Should have a really solid knockdown.

Actually, there's another difference. The Iberian Mace has a wooden shaft, which means the weight is concentrated in the tip of the weapon. The Spathovaklion is all metal, which means the weight is more evenly distributed, so technically, it should be worse at knocking stuff down.

Played with it for over an hour. Unless I'm just the unluckiest guy ever, this thing does not have knockdown.
