Blunted/Dull Swords?

Should BG, especially BG1, have blunted or dull weapons (i.e. swords) available to players?

The only practical reasoning behind this would be is to offer a different damage type to a weapon that normally does piercing or slashing damage.

Say for example, you're up against a slime that's immune to Slashing damage. What am I to do then?

    Use blunt weapons such as maces, clubs, flails or hammers.

    The only realistic dull sword I can think of is wooden sword used for practice.. if you give a sword a blunt damage, it will make blunt weapons irrelevant except from their design/look. just use flails and warhammers - thats why they are for. :)

    p.s
    I LOVE flails, my favorite weapon.
