Longflails have been in existence since their smaller counterparts were invented, though they have fallen out of circulation in recent years, as warriors gradually focused into the smaller, easier to wield versions. A longflail is basically a light flail, except with a greatly extended chain.

Despite its length, a longflail can be wielded with one hand without penalty. A longflail has reach, so it can strike both at adjacent opponents and opponents within ten feet. It allows the user to make trip attacks; if the character is tripped during his own trip attempt, he can drop the longflail to avoid being tripped. Finally, a longflail gives the wielder a +2 circumstance bonus on checks made to disarm an opponent, including
checks to avoid being disarmed.
