Morning star

Postby Blackhawk » Mon Oct 31, 2011 2:33 am

I am lazy, so I ask you to enlighten me. What are the minimum and maximum dimensions of such a weapon according to your rules?

Please excuse my lack of knowledge of the subject. The last morning star I made was in 1983. It had a 8inch handle, a 2 foot chain, and a nerf soccer ball for a head.

I hear your rules about these weapons are more restrictive than the Dag rules, so if I want to use this in both games, I want to be within the rules for both games.

Speed does not equal intense. Realistic, brutal, savage, simulated dark age combat is intense. You want speed, go run track!!

Making stick jocks look good since 1982

If by morning star you mean flail, then here are the relevant BOW rules:

1.1.6. Flail - Any hinged Weapon.
1.4.5. Flails must conform to the following:
1.4.5.1. The striking surface must haves a minimum circumference of fifteen (15) inches measured on separate axes.
1.4.5.2. The maximum chain/hinge length is six (6) inches.
1.4.5.3. The maximum overall length is forty (40) inches.
1.4.5.4. The hinged part of the flail must be padded with foam to keep the chain from easily entangling a Weapon or body part. No more than 1 ½ inches of chain may be exposed.
1.4.5.5. Only one hinge per flail is allowed.
1.4.5.6. Only the head of a flail is a striking surface.

In addition to this, they have to conform to all other class 1 weapon rules.
