Choosing a weapon is a crucial decision, and Fortis wouldn't be a true Selenite if he didn't imagine himself wielding a hammer, even for a second. He gripped the handle – it was heavy, but manageable. "Perhaps it's better to stand and take the hits," the young man thought, recalling the library materials he had studied at Gideon's suggestion. "Even though this clumsy thing could theoretically knock out three opponents at once under favorable circumstances, in reality, no one will let you land a hit, or even get close enough to strike. It's just an instrument of pain, the pain of a person unable to dodge, and the frustration of a person unable to hit. That's how character is built... but that's not how you win battles." It wasn't that Fortis was afraid of taking hits, but he also wanted to deliver them, and he rejected the idea of arming himself with this weapon to cultivate his will through suffering. He considered an axe – so many memories were associated with axes for every village boy – chopped wood, hewn logs, beheaded chickens, but as a weapon, the axe didn't impress Fortis. It wasn't as elegant and convenient as a sword, nor as imposing as a hammer, and his familiarity with the axe as a tool didn't help; rather, it hindered him. Finally, Fortis armed himself with a flail – remembering his lessons, he knew that this thing hits just as hard as a hammer, and theory aside, Fortis still remembered how he was beaten in one of the fights with a simple rope flail. He weighed the flail in his hand – it didn't seem heavy, but Fortis understood physics, and he knew that with a good strike, the weight could easily crush a skull – a terrible impulse, and no recoil in the hand due to the chain. Compact, deadly – an excellent weapon.

Skill in flail 2 (do they give it to you right away during training?) and let's go. I hope the astrology skill works here.
