Charged flail
Advanced
55 GP
Described in: Core book
Nicknames: the minotaur / BAM-BAM
Description
Charged flails contain a field generator in their head that feeds off the armour’s power reserves. Each time it strikes it unleashes a shockwave strong enough to turn concrete walls to rubble or send several enemies flying. Given the severity of the impact, the weapon’s head is at the end of a lengthy chain to avoid its user suffering a backlash due to close proximity with the wave. Given the skill required to not get hit by the weapon rebounding off a target–a sure-fire way for the wielder to lose their head– these weapons are only meant for masters of melee combat. Flail heads can be modified in the workshop to shape their user’s taste; bull and lion heads are currently in vogue.
