		This myth, however, is incorrect on all four points: The nunchaku was not a Japanese weapon, it was never used as a rice flail, it was not developed by villagers and it was never used against samurai.
		In the former position, every time you swing up the flailing arm you might be struck on your back, while the latter position is not really functional as anyone who has had to kneel on rice can tell you.
		Another reason for this error, besides the obvious resemblance of the flail to the nunchaku, may be the existence of the a combat flail (uchibo), which really is a modified rice flail, among the weapons of Okinawan kobujutsu.

		Weapon enchantment and erosion ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from the spoiler "enchant.lim" by Peter Snelling and Boudewijn Waijers.) Your weapon's enchantment (e.g., -1, +0, +2) affects both your chance to hit monsters and the amount of damage produced.
		Weapons may also lose enchantments when zapped with a spell of drain life or used to hit a disenchanter, but may resists; artifacts will resist more than ordinary weapons.

		Saying that the bonus applies for chain weapons may just mean that it applies for chain weapons in the rules, never actuly states that chain weapons will be included and if they are included how they will be resolved.
		Since a flail is both a double weapon with both reach and non reach you should have two different animation sets.
		The flail moved like a sword, which totally ruined it for me. With alternate choices like the morningstar or mace to appease the bludgeoning crowd, I hope the Devs do not include flails without actually making them move like flails first.

		By putting a "red haft" on a long flail, you are luring an opponent in by misleading him that you are wielding a long blue weapon.
		Rice flails were about 6' long with a flat board attached at the end by a piece of leather.
		This is speculation, but I would imagine that European flails evolved into short-handled, long chained, iron sphered weapons because it was easier to use one-handed and in conjunction with a shield or from horseback.
