Nunchaku


>1) What skill would they use? Clubs? Whips? A new Flails skill?


Nunchaku, possibly a flail specialization, but the moves are typically more
involved than just whacking someone. In fact you can really hurt yourself on
rebound if you don't learn how to do it right.

>2) What would they do for damage?

+1 one more to whatever clubs do (simluates the swinging action).

>3) Can they entangle? Is that just a movie thing? If they could, what

Not like bolas, but around a wrist could be nasty from the compression. I
would examing the rules for grabbing in combat as a good parallel. The whip
entanglement rules would really apply to this weapon.

> Thanks in advance!
