  •   Special Maneuvers
  • Carry the Momentum - If you miss the target with an attack, you can bring the flail back around and make another attempt at an Attack for 1d8 AP I Bludgeoning damage.
  • Concussive Strike - Step 5 feet towards a target of your choice within 15 feet and make an Attack against their head without your Proficiency Bonus. This additional movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. Upon a successful attack, you deal the rolled damage, the target is Dazed and has disadvantage on their attack rolls for 3 rounds of combat, and you return to the space you were originally standing in. Once you have successfully made an attack with this maneuver, you may not use it again until you finish a Short or Long rest.
  • Imparted Force - After moving 20 feet or more on your turn in a straight line towards an opponent, make a melee weapon attack. If successful, you deal an additional 1d8 bludgeoning damage on top of your normal attack. If attacking from a vehicle against an exposed opponent, the additional damage increases to 2d8 bludgeoning damage after moving 180 feet, or 4 hexes, on the vehicle.
  • Rounding Strikes - As an Action, make a number of attacks equal to either your Dexterity or Strength modifier, each dealing 1d8 AP II Bludgeoning damage. If two or more attacks succeed, the target is knocked prone and you have advantage on any remaining attacks with this maneuver. You may use this maneuver once per Short or Long rest.

    A Belgorost weapon, the Kisteni Flail was historically used to reach and bludgeon targets at greater distances than traditional flail weapons. It is comprised of a relatively short stick and a long chain with a weighted end, and was originally used as a cavalry weapon to strike targets with greater force from atop horseback. As melee weapons have come back into fashion, this weapon has been remade in the after-world. It has found a new lease on life in the hands of roving dieselbike gangs. With a strike to the head it can cause concussions in targets and make them unable to retaliate.
