Just about anyone can pick up a weapon and use it. Problem is if you haven't paid points for a weapon you have to look for one, then either steal it or do some property damage.

Improvised Clubs

• Chairs, computers & other two-handed objects give +2d6
• Morotcycles & pool tables give +4d6 and count as 1-hex area effect objects
• Huge things (trees, cars) give +6d6 and count as 2- to 5-hex objects

• Example #1 - normal with a baseball bat: 2d6 (STR) + 2d6 (club) = 4d6. The bat is DEF 5 BODY 2 so it isn't damaged by being used.
• Example#2 - weightlifter with a bat: 4d6 (STR) + 2d6 (club) = 6d6. This is over the bat's DEF so the bat itself will take damage from being used.
• Example#3 - STR 60 with a bat: 12d6 (STR) + 2d6 (club) = 14d6. This exceeds the bat's DEF+BODY by quite a bit, so you get a single DEF 5 + BODY 2 = 7d6 attack and lots of toothpicks.
• Example#4 - STR 60 with a tree: 12d6 (STR) + 6d6 (tree) = 18d8. The tree is DEF 5 BODY 8 so you do 13d6 and look for a new tree.
• Example#5 - Grond (STR 90) with a Buick: 18d6 (STR) + 6d6 (car) = 24d6, limited by the DEF 3 BODY 14 car = 17d6. He's better off hitting you with his fist unless you're one of those annoying martial-artist types with a high DCV.
