Board With a Nail in It
The board with a nail in it is the archetypal improvised weapon. Boards with nails are widely available on construction sites and can easily be pried from the rotting walls of a ruined building or quickly improvised using a board, a long nail and something to drive the latter through the former. (See below for more information on rigging weapons.) Half the damage a character using a board with a nail in it inflicts is lethal (round down, minimum 1). Characters can choose to attack with the blunt side of a board with a nail in it, in which case the weapon simply does bashing damage.
