Now that I think about it, I would put in war pick with the Morningstar feat actually, offering a brutal critical effect, rather than a impactful miss that the warhammer gets via the Bludgeoning feat. The feat’s extra attack nicely represents real world techniques which require wielding the weapon in two hands…. You must use the new roll, even if it is a 1 or a 2.
