    I’d allow it, at my table.

    Using the flat of your blade is a valid tactic for blunting blows, be it against undead or to incapacitate a target.

    But I’d also give you a slight disadvantage, as you’re now going to be fighting your blade becoming a fan.

      I’d also decrease the damage a bit if actually used as a bludgeoning weapon.

        Yeah, that’d be fair, and it’s how I normally treat using the shaft of a pole weapon as staff.

        Unless it’s a Monk. Damn them, and their versatility!
