hmm.. perhaps not.... i have over 500hp nowadays ... and this game becomes more difficult after every update..
hahaha no matter how hard we make the upcoming NPCs I am still very certain that you will have no problems with dispatching your foes my friend. **bows**
;)

... but seriously... i cannot wait to start again... I just love to go in to the new area with a new "innocent and unprepair" build :-) :-)

Would be cool to be able to make something like thief / assassin like character, which also masters herblore/alchemy/potion making. Love it even more if 2H weapons, daggers, swords and other weaponclasses would be diversified, for example applying poison cannot be done on blunt weapons.

A Baldur's Gate 2 weapon. And it's a morning star :D.

RPGs may tend to classify morningstars with maces and such, but in reality they were covered in sharp spikes.

A morningstar's main source of damage to an enemy comes from the physical force of hitting them. The spikes are just "overkill insurance."

But my personal favorite is the flail, simple yet simply effective (and vicious).

And well, applying a poison to a blunt weapon seems strange. But... it does not say what kind of poison it is. For example it could be a layer of poison paste coating the weapon. It could have been a weapon that was "magically" poisoned by a magician/wizard. The poison itself could effect all creatures except humans. I could continue on and on. There is a near infinite amount of possibilities to explain how a blunt weapon was poisoned.

Not the most agile of weapons but also one of my favorites. I have a flail sitting in my room actually. hahaha i call it my "Zombie Protection"

Potion Mastery: A skill or new set of potions that become later on in the game seems to be highly desired by the majority of the players here on the forums.

True, Buy the spikes will still deliver the poison effectively.

That being said, crush wounds still bleed if they are bad enough....

Anything that cuts, including spiked maces and morningstars, should be able to be poisoned by applying a poison vial or alike. I ment blunt weapons, concussion class like hammers and such.
