Why did no martial art, either Eastern or Western, use an uspidedown

It's very unwieldy. you'd have to drop it on the ground to go on the offensive, unless you jsut wanted to start clubbing someone with it.

a samurai would hit your stool out of the way and then cut you

With what?
I'm blocking his sword strikes with the legs furthest from me

>It's very unwieldy
The one I own with metal legs is quite light actually, and I'm not sure one would need to go on the offensive, as I'm moreso imaging that it would be used by supporting troops to immobilise enemy fighters

what do you mean by this

with his sword

>>2099681
>block any sword strike
I don't know enough about swords to dispute that but I do know that a glorious Nippon steel stool would slice your shitty-ass stool up.

>>2099726
that was a serious question, your instructor may have been limiting himself or be flawed in his methods

don't be so oversensitive

I'm talking about dimensions not weight. But is your stool steel, aluminum or have plastics in its composition? A stool made of steel (which would be most likely next to wood ) would be heavy as fuck. NTM there's not much in way of sturdy grip or protection from thrusting attacks and the framework could easily get entangled in the pitch of battle. Also it requires both hands to maneuver in a effective manner,

what if they grab the stool by one of the legs and grapple you and then stab you with a dagger

Another argument against the use of stools is the lack of them. Might seem odd for us now, but chairs and stools are a very late addition to a common household. For thousands of years the most common chair was a rulers throne. It was not really up until the industrial revolution when people could work while seated that chairs actually became commonplace. There are of course exceptions, and the wealthy had acess to them much earlier. But the idea that chairs are everywhere is in fact a modern conception

A swordsman could get around something like that if they have any skill

>grapple
>not the most useless status condition
Catching the stool is probably an athletics check action. It's probably easier just to take the 1d4 bludgeoning and then take shove before using the dagger.

Unless you're a monk you might want to take a level or two in rogue for the sneak attack damage though.
