Yes, I am aware what a Morningstar is. I was a member of a medieval reenactment group for five years running before I moved late last year.

I was saying that the haft of the Morningstar form, which Hookshot lists in Form one as being a thing, seems too small. I did say it works as a flail just fine.

The Morningstar head + (haft/2) is 6 inches long in total. With a 3 inch head, it's a 6 inch (15cm) haft, for a total of about 20cm, give or take.

With a 2 inch head, it's an 8 inch haft for a total length of about 26cm, give or take.

With a 1 inch head, it's a 10 inch haft for a total length of about 29cm, give or take.

You see the problem? With a decent sized head, the handle is too short to be used effectively. With a decent sized handle, the head is too small to be properly effective.
