D&D 3E/3.5 3.5e: Bludgeoning reach weapon other than Ramhammer?

[Shin Okada]

The title says it all. Are there any bludgeoning reach weapon in 3.5e, other than Ramhammer in Planar Handbook?

Thanks kitcik.

Picer Staff seems to be the best one. Monsters always have better weapons than humans have.

 

[nijineko]

doesn't the long staff count as reach too?

There are a whole bunch of polearms & polearm feats in DCv1...but I cannot recall if any were bludgeoning.

In addition, technically, a monk with a Dhalsim build would have reach with a bludgeoning weapon- his own unarmed strikes.

The Kusari-Gama should be able to do bludgeoning damage, but the writers of the DMG thought you swung the scythe end around on the chain, which you don't (you swing the blunt end around and when the other guy is tangled, you stab him with the pointy end to kill him). Also it should be a double weapon.

Thank you all.

I finally dug up my DCv1. Lucerne Hammer seems to be a descent option, if not wonderful, as it is a martial weapon. Still, Pincer staff seems to be too good.

Long Staff is not a pole weapon, just a quarterstaff with some special defensive trick.

I know. Maybe the author watched some highly fictional Japanese Ninja movie or Anime.

FWIW, having seen it in use, the Three-Sectional Staff should also be a reach weapon.

Here's an example from Fight Science featuring Li Jing (the second, German version has better visuals):

ah, i see. guess i was confusing my memories of the rules with my personal experiences. well, anyone who has seen a spear or staff in real combat, knows it is a reach weapon, regardless of what the rules say.
