Stun batons

Stun batons all have at least Damage: Physical, 1-1, Critical Threat: 20-20,x2 (5% chance) and On Hit: Stun 25% chance, 6 seconds, DC 10. These weapons are unusable with weapons in the off-hand.

Stun Baton

Damage: Physical, 1-1
Critical Threat: 20-20,x2
On Hit: Stun 25% chance, 6 seconds, DC 10

A common weapon, stun batons do minimal damage but can incapacitate a target. The high-density cells needed for repeated discharge are unwieldy, making it unusable in the off-hand.
