A flail is a two-handed weapon similar in construction to the one-handed blunt morning star. It consists of a spiked rod or ball suspended from a haft by a chain. The flail, however, is considerably more massive and requires both hands to wield. Flails are designed to crush an unarmored target or to puncture armored opponents.
