Nail Bat (3.5e Equipment)

The nail bat is simple to make; take a club and put nails in it, then apply directly to forehead. However, while the nail bat can be used as a normal club (dealing 1d6 bludgeoning and slashing damage medium with 20/x2 critical) for those with only simple weapon proficiency, only those with martial weapon proficiency have the skill in applying the nails to said forehead and receiving its full benefits.

The nail bat counts as a wooden weapon, but its nails can be made out of special metal materials separate from the bludgeoning part of the bat. Thus you can have a special wood (such as SerrenwoodBoED) with a metal (such as Cold Iron nails) and count as both.

The nail bat counts as a club for all feats and pre-requisites, such as Weapon Focus.
