#shillelagh

"The shillelagh is a traditional walking stick of Ireland, associated with folklore and given as a symbol of coming of age to young men. Also modified and used as a protective weapon, the shillelagh was carried by men to use against rival factions that might meet during public events. The thorny vines of this example are attractively interwoven around the gnarled shaft with a polished root handle. While decorative, it is easy to see how such an instrument could be utilized to exact a painful wound."

Featuring the M162 rifled 152mm gun/launcher capable to fire HEAT, HE conventional ammunition and the MGM 51 Shillelagh Anti Tank Guided Missile.

Pronounced “Shil-AY-lee,” this is the only weapon featured so far to have a D&D 5e spell named after it. It is a knobbed walking stick traditionally made of blackthorn wood and used as a cudgel. One method of curing the stick is to place it up a chimney for a period of months or years; the soot that accumulated on the surface gave it a shiny black appearance. The shillelagh would then be finished with oils, waxes, and other sealants. It was used as a walking stick, a tool for self defense, and for duels akin to those using pistols or swords. Some sticks had their knobs hollowed out and filled with lead to increase their striking weight, known as loaded sticks.
