Flail Damage
I cant find a Flail in the books wondering what its damage would be and if there would be a minus to parry?

Re: Flail Damage
Try the PF2 main book or the ancient weapons compendium(s).
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.

Greetings and Salutations. As others have said, there are stats specifically for the flail in other books. In RUE, you can look on page 326 under the W.P. Chain. They don't list the damage for most of the specific weapons, but do mention "Typically 2D6 damage" (so instead of listing each weapon and some doing 2D4 and others doing 2D6, they just list 2D6 for simplicity). They also mention the Goupillion Flail being larger and its damage (not typical). This section also discusses restrictions to parry (can only be done when using two hands on the weapon), as well as the W.P. providing lower parry bonuses than normal. There is no minus to parry though (when you can parry). Hope that helps. Farewell and safe journeys.

Re: Flail Damage
Although it says can be parry with one hand that seams me to be referencing actual chains or similar that would require using the length between the hands to parry block as the handle of a flail should be able to parry same as a club. What I find odd is the cannot be used to entangle because that is kind of how marital arts use several chain weapons.

I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.
