The Chair Leg is a single wooden leg from a chair. It is an improvised one-handed club that trains the Short Blunt skill. It is light and swings fast, but it hits softly and breaks after a few hits. It is an early stopgap weapon and a good base for a nail club.
With a hammer and three Nails it becomes a Chair Leg with Nails. It is found as loot in survivor safehouses and survivor caches.
Combat
The Chair Leg swings a little faster than most weapons. Its reach is short, so a zombie gets close before each hit. Each hit deals low damage, and an ordinary zombie takes several swings. The critical chance is only 5 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
It wears out very quickly. With 3 condition and a high chance to lose a point per hit, it rarely lasts more than a short fight. Higher Short Blunt skill raises speed, damage and critical chance. The Chair Leg with Nails hits harder and has a far stronger crit. A Broken Table Leg hits about the same and lasts much longer. It suits a single zombie when nothing better is at hand.
Uses
The Chair Leg is a base for the Make Nail-Spiked Small Weapon recipe. With a hammer, three Nails and Carpentry 1 it becomes a Chair Leg with Nails. It also burns as fuel in a campfire or stove.

Repair
The Chair Leg has 3 condition and loses a point on about 1 hit in 2. The Short Blunt skill and the Maintenance skill both lower that chance. Duct tape, adhesive tape and glue repair it with no skill needed. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, wood glue needs Carpentry 2, and epoxy needs Maintenance 3. Epoxy with rags needs Maintenance 4. Each repair restores less condition than the one before. Fighting with it gives no Maintenance experience.
Locations
The Chair Leg is an uncommon find. It turns up only in survivor safehouses and survivor caches. The best odds are in the cardboard boxes, crates and small boxes of a safehouse and on the counters of a cache. Metal shelves, counters and wardrobes in a safehouse hold one less often. Mid game and late game safehouses carry it at a slightly lower rate.
