But special moves for spears, scythes and hand axes should be a thing too. Even shield bashing can bring more variables to combat.
Spears should be a weapon imo, but you can already use the Boar Spear, but it's shitty. Scythes are for edgy anime characters
that cover themselves in fancy buckles. Shield bashing is dumb, that's stuff for movies, people with tower shields, and people with bucklers, which we have none of.
EDIT: A warhammer would be nice, maybe it gives near no openings, but it does high damage. As hitting someone that wasn't weakened with a sledgehammer would be pretty hard, but if you got hit by it hard you die.
