| The spiked iron ball can be whirled at the end of its chain in synchronicity with your movement, allowing you a free attack whenever moving between two spaces that are adjacent to an enemy. |
Flails have a base damage of 10-13 and require 17 strength to use without penalty.
Flails will target just one enemy if you're standing still, like a sword. However, if you move with one equipped, you will get a free attack on all enemies who are adjacent both to your original square and the square you moved to. This does not include monsters that are invisible or submerged, even if you have revealed them with telepathy. This will attack around corners if moving into a space where the enemy can't attack you.
