Cudgel

Cost	50 sp
Requirements	0 Strength
ID	Cudgel

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.
