Knockout flare

Knockout flares are a rare scripted flare which can be placed on weapons that primarily do crushing damage, such as maces, handaxes, and mauls, as well as UCS gloves and boots. The flares always targets the victim's head. If the head is sufficiently wounded the crush damage from the flare may be applied to the chest. Any part of the body may be hit for the flares to activate. Besides the crush damage applied to the targets head, the flare can also impart a status effect on the target, such as the rooted condition or the prone condition. Knockout flares will not function against creatures greater than 15 levels above the user. Knockout flares take up the script slot on a weapon, meaning an already flaring weapon can have knockout flares added. While knockout flares can also be added to a runestaff, this is not advisable as the flare will only activate on a melee hit, e.g. when the runestaff is swung.
