A heavy piece of wood, with a place to grip on one end and most of its weight at the other, making it suitable for swinging or throwing at a foe. While clubs are rather primitive weapons, bashing someone's skull in with one remains a very popular and effective means of dispute resolution.
This weapon falls into the 'Maces & Flails' category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is better for the strong.

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 both whips and hammers. They can be thrown, but not with any particular effectiveness. Stabbing a monster with a club will confuse it. However, it is more effective to stab a monster with a dagger, since this usually kills it. One use for clubs is that you can cast Sticks to Snakes on them to create a marginally useful summoned snake to attack your foes. However, the spell has much better results if cast on poisoned arrows or larger sticks like quarterstaves or giant clubs.
