The Rolling Pin is a wooden kitchen tool that can be swung as a one-handed club. It trains the Short Blunt skill. As a weapon it is weak, with low damage and a short reach, and it hits only one zombie per swing.
Its real place is in the kitchen. The Rolling Pin is needed to make bread, pie, pizza, baguettes and several kinds of cookies. Many survivors keep one at the base for baking and fight with something heavier. It is found on kitchen and living room counters. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for short blunt. It starts with the most Short Blunt skill. The Blacksmith and the Carpenter also start with some Short Blunt skill.
Combat
The Rolling Pin swings faster than normal and reaches about 1.1 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.2 and 0.5 damage, so an ordinary zombie takes many swings. The critical chance starts at 15 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
The pin is one-handed and weighs 1.5. Each swing costs little endurance, and the other hand stays free. The Short Blunt skill raises damage, attack speed and crit chance with each level, and it lowers wear.
Each swing strikes only one zombie, and the swing takes a while to finish. That makes a fight against more than one zombie risky. The Rolling Pin suits a lone zombie in a kitchen when nothing better is in reach. Almost any proper club or tool weapon is a better choice for regular fighting.
Uses
The Rolling Pin is a kept tool in many baking recipes. It is needed for Prepare Bread Dough and Prepare Pie. It also serves in the recipes for pie dough, baguettes, pizza, and chocolate, chocolate chip, oatmeal, sugar and shortbread cookies. When worn out, it still burns as fuel.

Repair
The Rolling Pin has 8 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 14 chance of taking a point off. The Short Blunt and Maintenance skills lower that chance. Glue repairs it with no skill needed, and Wood Glue needs Carpentry 2. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it. Fighting with it gives no Maintenance experience.
