Aklys: The aklys is a weighted, shortish club with a stout thong attached
to the butt. While it can be used as a hand-held striking
weapon, its principal employment is as a missile. Once hurled, the
aklys may be retrieved by its thong. Of the hits scored with this
weapon, 5% will be of the sort which entangle the target individual. If
the target is man-sized or smaller, it will be dismounted or jerked to its
knees or side (if not bipedal), at the wielder’s option. Conversely, if the
target is larger than man-sized, its actions might well jerk the aklys
thrower prone. The weapon is tied to the wielder by a thong or cord of
about 10 feet in length. When a hit is scored, a subsequent roll of 20
indicates entanglement. This condition persists until a round can be
spent disentangling the aklys and thong, the thong is broken, the
thong is severed (which requires 2 points of cutting damage), or the
wielder somehow manages to divest himself or herself of the fastened
line. Since the thong is usually secured to the wrist or gauntlet, such
action can prove to be difficult.
