minus-squareRose Thorne(She/Her)@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·4 months agoI’d allow it, at my table. Using the flat of your blade is a valid tactic for blunting blows, be it against undead or to incapacitate a target. But I’d also give you a slight disadvantage, as you’re now going to be fighting your blade becoming a fan.

minus-squareRose Thorne(She/Her)@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months agoYeah, that’d be fair, and it’s how I normally treat using the shaft of a pole weapon as staff. Unless it’s a Monk. Damn them, and their versatility!
