The flail takes a master to use effectively in combat, and you've put in the time and work to reap the rewards. When using a flail you gain the following benefits.
- When you hit with an opportunity attack using a flail, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) or be knocked prone.
- When using the flail you ignore enemies shield bonus to AC and you get a +1 to attack and damage rolls.
- As a bonus action on your turn you can begin to spin the flail, gathering its momentum for a brutal strike. After it is spinning you must immediately take the attack action and you can then forfeit any amount of attacks that you would like on your turn, for each attack forfeited add 1D8 to the damage roll and a +10 once. This attack can also be used to break shields, armor, weapons or knock an opponent prone and back 5ft for every attack forfeited, this DC is a STR save equal to 8+STR+Proficiency.
