The flail is a one-handed striking weapon in Omega 0.90.4. It has base damage 12 and +7 hit, with the same weight and base value as a mace.

Generation and appearance

It is a common level-3 random weapon and may also appear through pawn-shop stock or weapon acquirement. Its name is always displayed as flail.

Data and mechanics

A flail weighs 50, has base damage 12, grants +7 hit, and has a base value of 50 Au. It has fragility 15 and leaves the ready hand free. Its plus is added to both hit and damage.

Effects and interactions

The standard strike gains Strength-based damage and the flail can lunge. It cannot riposte. It may be thrown and, as a striking weapon, can tunnel without the special weapon-damage check faced by cutting and thrusting weapons.

Strategy

At equal plus, the mace is a direct combat upgrade: it has the same damage, weight, value, and attack type with 1 more hit, and appears at a lower item level. Keep a flail when its plus is better, but otherwise replace it with a mace or a higher-damage striking weapon.
