Flails:
Is it Str or Dex based?
I'm not sure if it's either. Both Dhaevor and Minalcar did well with them, so....
Also where do they fall on the ranking of parrying weapons? At the bottom with whips or near the middle with maces being they are a combination of both?
I'd say in the middle. They're a LOT better than whips as weapons.
I know not many classes use em so other classes won't be able to parry em well. One last thing, are they the least numerous weapons in Thera?
Possibly.
I've only ran across a few in my travels of Thera. Not like swords and daggers which seem to be the most numerous, and I've not seen or heard of any Flails with special abilities, have you?
I know of one flail with a wicked, wicked prog. You're not likely to ever see it though (no one has had it, to my knowledge, since May or so of 1998). There are plenty of decent flails out there, many of which are rather easy to get for their quality, and there are a couple of really, really good ones that are admittedly harder to get.
