Originally an agricultural tool designed for threshing (separating grains from husks), it came to be used as a martial weapon amongst peasant militia. Swung with enough force, a flail was able to penetrate a suit of plate armor from the Middle Ages. A flail or morning star consists of a handle and one or more weights attached via a hinge or chains. Note that this skill also includes some oriental weapons like the nunchaku and three-section staff, despite the fact that are not considered to be flails.
The Flail skill reflects proficiency in one- and two-handed flail-type weapons. Increasing the skill raises the chance to hit opponents while wielding a flail-type weapon. At a low level, this skill grants the special move maul when wielding an appropriate weapon. __NOTOC__
