Nonsense. With a pointy stick, I don't have to be within reach myself. |

Waaaaaay back in my SCA days, pointy sticks were much
feared by us missile-armed folks, unless there were more
of us'ns than them'uns… |

Pointed sticks don't work on plate armor, blunt sticks do! This is what I look like now I have a gambeson and padded legs and coif.
I have a mail Hauberk and mail coif a coat of plates as well as plate armor on arms and legs and a kettle helmet.

"Pointed sticks don't work on plate armor, blunt sticks do!" Is that why everybody form pike units? |

As far as I know pikes had iron/steel heads the sticks them self weren't very pointed m |

I understand that, for breaking bones, sticks and stones may work. Never heard specifically blunt or pointy. |
