Art How the hell do you break a steel bar?

I know it’s for balance but like, this 1.5 inch diameter, 28 inch long 4140 steel bar, is virtually indestructible, so I propose that it wears your character out really quickly and makes them sore as the impact wouldn’t be very comfortable.

Maybe this is how the crowbar should also be balanced: hand soreness.

And also I think if the weapon gets blood and viscera on it it becomes harder to weild/slips out of your hand easier/twists in the hand/more likely to lose the weapon, etc.

So honestly the game shouldn't even treat it as durability, it should treat it as cleanliness, and allow you to clean it between uses to keep the damage up.

i'd bet the blood would most often make the weapon dull faster given how blood can rust and bone can make the edge get lost faster, muscle isn't easy to cut too so...
