Talk:Athrogate

There's been a disagreement over whether Athrogate uses flails or morningstars. The novel names them morning stars and describes spiked balls on the ends of chains and names. In D&D 3.5 terms, that's closest to a flail, but that only does bludgeoning damage. But RA Salvatore doesn't really follow the D&D rules. In medieval weaponry, the morning star itself was generally only the spiked ball bit, and this could be attached to a handle like a mace or to a chain like a flail. So RAS is accurate in this name and description. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:52, October 30, 2012 (UTC)
