A mace with a short chain connecting the head to the haft. This adds slightly more force to the blow at the cost of complicating use.

This weapon falls into the 'Maces & Flails' category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is better for the strong.

The flail is a moderately powerful common one-handed weapon. Although it's a little less powerful than a morningstar, it's significantly more accurate, making it a fair choice for the early game.
