Nunchaku

The nunchaku is a light, exotic melee weapon typically used by monks.

Description
The nunchaku is made of two hardwood wands or dowels connected at one end by a leather thong or short length of chain. The dowels are slightly tapered toward the chained end. An average set of nunchaku cost 2gp and weigh 2lbs (0.9kg).

Weaponology
It takes special training to use nunchaku effectively in melee combat, therefore it is considered an exotic weapon. The taper of the dowels improves grip and increases the weight of the free-swinging ends. Nunchaku can be used to disarm an opponent much like the flail. Unarmored monks can take full advantage of this quick, bludgeoning weapon.
