  Morning star (weapon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The morning star was a medieval weapon in the form of a spiked club resembling a mace, usually with a long spike extending straight from the top in addition to a number of smaller spikes around the circumference of the head.
The mace, a traditional knightly weapon, developed somewhat independently, becoming all metal with heads of various forms, while the morning star retained its characteristic spikes, with a shaft generally made of wood and often found in longer two-handed forms measuring up to six feet or more, popular among footmen.
Although it is often assumed that the morning star was a crude peasant weapon, that is not entirely correct.

 EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Did the Witch King use a morning star or flail
A morning star is a mace with a spiked ball attached to a short chain instead of the usual solid head.
Flail comes from flailing and describes the way, the weapon (or agricultural tool, which evolved into a weapon of similar use) is handled, so it describes a weapon where the grip and the head are linked with a chain (or leather band).
The term morningstar is used when describing one of two weapons: a mace-like weapon with a spiked head and (like the one used here) a hafted chain weapon with a spiked ball on the end.

A two-handed melee weapon can be used effectively in two hands, and when damage is dealt with it, add one and a half times the character's Strength bonus to damage (provided the character has a bonus).
A character can throw a thrown weapon with one hand even if it would be two-handed for you due to the character's size, but doing so counts as a full-round action because the weapon is bulkier and harder to handle than most thrown weapons.
If the weapon's size category is two or more steps larger than a character's own, the weapon is too large for the character to use.
