	It may have hilariously overpowered statistics, be gear from beta that didn't make it into the official release, be a uniform for game masters, etc.

The Ban Stick is a standard and iconic Game Master exclusive weapon.

Why a crowbar? Who knows, but it could be an allusion to Gordon Freeman's trusty crowbar from the Half-Life series. The phrase "ban stick" has also been used for many years by the player community in Puzzle Pirates, another game developed by Three Rings.
