-Baseball bats deal 1d8 blunt damage versus small monsters and 1d6 blunt damage versus large monsters. Notably, they are excluded from the code in SLASH'EM that determines [[monster]] weapon preference (likely due to an oversight), meaning that a monster in SLASH'EM will never [[wield]] an ordinary baseball bat (though they will wield the Bat from Hell). SlashTHEM corrects this and places baseball bats above the [[javelin]] and below the [[quarterstaff]] in terms of weapon preference.
