As the title suggests; I propose the idea of making the Long Spiked Club 1 slot.
To be honest, in my opinion the Quarter Staff is better but I would very much like 1 slot weapon that I can roleplay with which doesn't hit with the force of a feather.
I don't see anyone use it and the slot change would not make it overpowered in any way whatsoever; it is still arguably inferior to the quarter staff; I wish it to be 1 slot only so I can roleplay with it.
I would like it to be 1 slot because I am a thrower and I cannot afford to only take 2 bags of Throwing Spears into battle.
Also, I believe there is room and perhaps a need for a high tier variant of this weapon.
I propose: Plated Long (Mace/Star?)
It would be a simple piece of dark wood with a plated end (or the entire thing could be plated with metal), similar to the hafted maces but with spikes coming off, similar to a morningstar and unlike the hafted spiked mace in that the spikes are uniform and less filthy. I will attempt to make a model for this in time, but it will look terrible if I do get around to making it (I have no experience whatsoever in making these things).
Not dissimilar to this, but perhaps with a thicker and more polearm befitting handle, obviously longer, smaller... nob which extends longer down the weapon with uniform spikes on it, like that of a morningstar.
I know this isn't my job but proposed stats are this:
weapon length: 126
weight: 3.5
difficulty: 17
speed rating: 91
weapon length: 135
thrust damage: 24 blunt
swing damage: 37 pierce
slots: 2
Knockdown (should be on all directions in my opinion)
cost: ~12k
Thankye for reading and I hope this is considered.
