-While the club is an adequate weapon for a starting Caveman, most characters will prefer stronger weapons. A major exception is the aklys, which has the same damage dice as a club and is made of [[iron]], but can double as a ranged weapon: it can easily be a solid replacement for some projectiles such as the Caveman's [[sling]], [[flint]] and [[rock]]s, and can even serve as a primary melee weapon until an artifact weapon is obtained.
