A heavy piece of wood. While clubs are rather primitive weapons, bashing someone's skull in with one remains a very popular and effective means of dispute resolution. |
From the learndb: "Not a terrible weapon forged in the fires of hell -- just a terrible weapon."
There is no reason you should ever fight with a club. They are strictly inferior to whips, which are almost as commonplace.
Even freshly started spellcaster characters should avoid using clubs, whenever possible. A club is only marginally more powerful than unskilled Unarmed Combat; you might as well wait until you get a dagger or whip off of a kobold or something.

History
- Prior to 0.23, Killer Klowns didn't spawn with highly enchanted, branded clubs.
- Prior to 0.16, club-stabbing a monster would confuse it for 1-3 turns.
- Prior to 0.14, clubs also qualified as throwing weapons, and they were suitable for use with the Sticks to Snakes spell.
