You are skilled with crushing and bludgeoning weapons.

Cudgel is the base skill for the Cudgel skill tree. Cudgel is unique in the fact that items that are not conventionally considered weapons that are wielded as a weapon default to a 1d2 damage weapon that uses the Cudgel skill. Because of this, Cudgel is the most common skill tree that weapons use.

Cudgels specialize in incapacitating the enemy under a hail of blows, dazing and stunning them before crushing them entirely.

Skills in the Cudgel skill tree

Skill	Cost	Stat	Prerequisites	Description
Cudgel Proficiency	0	0 Strength		You get +2 to hit with cudgels.
Bludgeon	150	17 Strength		Whenever you hit with a cudgel, there's a 50% chance to daze your opponent (-4 int, -4 agi, -10 movespeed) for 3-4 rounds. If you daze a dazed opponent, they're stunned for 1 round instead (cannot take actions and 0 DV).
Charging Strike (Cudgel)	100	19 Strength	Bludgeon • Charge	When you charge with a cudgel and hit, you automatically daze your opponent.
Conk	150	21 Strength	Bludgeon	Activated; cooldown 10. You make an attack with a cudgel at an adjacent opponent. If you hit, you automatically daze your opponent. If your opponent is already stunned, you instead knock them unconscious for 30-40 rounds (unconscious opponents wake up dazed when they take damage).
Backswing	100	23 Strength		Whenever you make a cudgel attack with your primary hand, there's a 25% chance you make an additional free attack with the same hand.
Slam	150	25 Strength		Activated; cooldown 50. Cudgel attack, +1 penetration roll. A hit knocks your opponent back up to 3 spaces, pushing creatures and breaking through walls if their AVs are under 5 times your Str modifier. Stuns for 1 round plus 1 round for each space pushed. Being pushed through or into a wall does extra weapon damage each time. Can also destroy a wall or door if its AV is under 5 times your Str modifier.
Demolish	300	29 Strength	Slam	Activated; cooldown 100. For the next 5 rounds, your chance to daze with cudgel attacks is 100% and Slam has no cooldown. To use Demolish, Slam must be off cooldown, and using Demolish puts Slam on cooldown.
