Club

A club is a simple improvised bludgeoning weapon, usually made out of wood. They appear as weapons in  Ultima V,  VI,  VII,  VII Part Two and  IX, as well as in  Ultima Underworld and  The Savage Empire.

Description
Popular amongst many humanoid monsters, such as trolls,  ettins,  cyclopes,  orcs and  goblins, clubs are easily constructed and simple to use. While markedly inferior to professionally made bludgeoning weapons such a maces or  flails, a club can nevertheless be deadly when wielded by a combatant of significant strength. In some cases, to increase the damage wrought by such instruments, metal spikes would be driven into the head of a club, causing it to inflict traumatic wounds when it struck home.
