Weapon:Ball and chain (crafted)

A ball and chain is a melee-range Heavy Blunt metal weaponsmithing template.

It is a 05- Basic template, uses 9 volumes of metal, and is covered by the Expert Blunt Weapon Design technique.

It is 9 by 2 by 2 spans.

This metal weapon has the standard construction values for its type.

The crafted heavy chains and horseman's flails are also identical in performance to this template.
