Questions about her weapons. (spoiler)

[Saltsio]

is overseas pathfinder user.

Usually, I was curious about the ability of weapons made of metal bars.
(like metal bat)

Then, I saw a picture of the character in the Book(AoE AP 3 of 6).

Her illustration was holding a Metal baseball bat.

The weapon she was holding was in the shape I wanted,

I thought I could know the figures of the weapon.

But in the actual document, she was holding a knife, not a metal bat.

I had no choice but to be disappointed.

I've thought of that type of metal blunt weapon as a L-Mace.

I think it will actually be the case.

But I want to know.

What kind of weapon she was holding in the painting.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Can I ask why you can't just use the existing stats for any of the various Club-category weapons?

club - This is a piece of stout "wood" shaped or repurposed to bludgeon an enemy.

Battle Lute - It's similar, but it's different.

Greatclub - You can't swing it with one hand. And it's too big.

L mace or H mace - It's most similar to what I wanted, but there's a head in Mace.

I'm curious about the headless form of Mace.

Just as Crowbar was replaced by Morning Star in the same book.

I think baseball bats can also be replaced by mace or clubs.

However, I wonder what kind of weapon she was holding.

I think the answer here is re-flavor a club to be a smaller metal rod.

A club is simply a weapon with mass and length. You can easily make a club out of metal that can be as long but thinner than a wooden version would be and have it work roughly the same. This is a game of imagination, no reason that you need to get bound up by the description of club calling it wood.

Yeah, if a player asked me for a metal bat I would point to club without a second thought. Bump it's cost up to compensate for the extra durability and potential for weakness exploitation and you're done.

[Saltsio]

Thank you for your answers.

There is no significant difference between the club and Mace in Pathfinder 2E,(club 1d6, L Mace 1d4)

but I needed my imagination as to what kind of weapon the "metal bat" would be treated as in the classification of weapons.

Thank you for your valuable opinion.

One weapon that might fit the depiction more closely is the nightstick that came out as part of that AP. Its base material is metal, has light bulk, and largely functions as a club (with some trickiness appropriate to the character). The bat's depiction even has some bands around it that might be the telescoping shafts extended outward.

Oh! Thank you for your answer. :)

I think the weapon is cool, and I like the statistics in that it is a flat-metal rod.

The AP considered the description of participants as police (or public power) agents and trying to solve various ethnicities and races with as much non-violence as possible.
Nightstick is an extension of such efforts.

On the other hand,
Mafias, gangsters, and hooligans and mobs appear with simple and violent weapons (easy to find) such as crowbars and razor.

Baseball bats will be weapons of the latter class.

I think it won't include Nonlethal, Parry, and Uncommon.

Also, Nightstick's painting is more of a tonfa than a baseball bat.

Nevertheless, it seems to be a good reference to my imagination of Mace's weapon statistics without a head.

Thank you for your opinion.

I pay attention to the weapons held by the man decorating the cover of AoE 1 of 6.

He holds a weapon (a club) that complies with the law.

I think it has a shape that can compromise with my thoughts.

But I don't think it's a metal object.

If it were a metal, it would be unsuitable for throwing as much as 10 feet, and because it was a metal, Mace's statistics would have been used.
